I couldn't change from 3rd to 4th at WOT, it just redlined 3rd.

But I think there were a few good guesses.

Can be heard as a "fart" noise between shifts when at wot. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86752-slipping-zf/#findComment-1439870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Truncation (as mentioned above) reduces spark on a gearshift to reduce torque.I personally have played with a car that had a ZF that was starting to slip on shift. Retuned with the Torque Module turned on and trans truncation adjusted the car shifts nicely under WOT conditions..
