Took the car up to 60 after the lights changed and gave it a squirt from 60 onwards but instead of neck breaking acceleration the engine just revedd and I maintained my speed.I backed off and reaccelerated and all was well.

Was it the turbo spooling the tranny flaring has done it when it was newer but only for a .02 of a second this time it was for about 2 seconds.

2nd to 3rd gear flare? anytime an auto flares like that u got issues....

car is completely stock and has never really been thrashed.

I guess of to for to sort out.

if its bog stock have u noticed an trans fluid in you carport/carpark/garage? silly question but its not low on fluid is it?

is there any tranny fluid in your overflow tank? Does it look more milky/ frothy than green?

Hi,

I have a recent similar experience to report. I had the auto transmission fluid replaced last Thursday. I had been using the Redline High Temp ATF (for approx. 12 months) and decided to give the Penrite SIN Auto Sharp Shift product a go (it's the Penrite 10-Tenths Comp ATF product re-branded).

Anyway, I had the Ford dealer flush the auto-trans, in addition to the diff, previously using the Redline 80/140 product and this time around tried the Penrite SYN Gear 80/140 product....

A little more back ground, I have an auto-trans cooler installed, which bypasses the in-radiator cooler (it's a Drivetech cooler).

After getting the car back and taking it for a test drive, I noticed at the time a one-off extended shift (time) from 2nd to 3rd. Similar to what Stang described, seem to build RPM, however it felt as if the vehicle was not accelerating. Has occurred approx. 3 or 4 times since the auto-trans fluid change. I had not previously experience the occurrence with the Redline ATF fluid, only started occurring intermittently since re-filling with the Penrite ATF Sharp Shift product...

Is this flaring? Is the transmission on the way-out (I have approx. 31,000km on the clock)???

Cheers,

Tom.

Just for the record I have 40000k`s on the clock.

both could just be low oil level, especially with the oil cooler, they might have got it , it might be draining back and giving them a false reading, I think this does happen if the cooler is mounted fairly high, then when running, it fills the cooler but is to low in the tranny, can be intermiting, especially when still cold.

I had similar once during an attempted burnout. It was, I believe, caused by torque tags which kicked in to protect the driveline. Felt like the clutch slipping...but wasnt.
