Is this normal ?

I have a 2 sec delay when going from reverse to drive or drive to reverse or park to drive. Spoke to dealer he said it was normal was way of protecting tranny.

Is he pulling my leg.

I have never really noticed a delay, there could be one. Do you have any problems with any of the forward changes at all? If not I wouldn't think it was a problem.

If you're not sure if your dealer is crapping to you or not, try another dealer or even ask a auto trans repair shop.

Geea.

I get a delay as well. Don't know if it's 2 seconds, seem a a little shorter than that..

yeh I get the same problem, its annoying when ya kerb parked(45deg), and ya car rolls about 2 feet forward before reverse kicks in!

I live on a busy road,you back out left to go right ,put it into drive and if you dont wait that pregnant pause,Bang as it kicks in.

Bloody ford should put us on wages for driving these bloody things..but when I havent got the rags I love the bloody thing

When you shift P to D you have to go through R, the delay is there so R doesn't actually get engaged as you pass through it on your way to D. I notice the delay and when I'm backing out of a downhill bit of road I just don't take my foot off the brake until I feel the tranny load up in R. It's not a big problem to deal with.

when my gearbox was sliping I had the delay now its been replaced its only a slight delay heaps better than what it was

I have a slight delay, but it probably wouldnt be any more than a second, I have never driven an auto before my T so I thought that was just what auto's did.
