Hirdy Member 31 Member For: 5y 11m Posted 19/05/18 09:46 AM Share Posted 19/05/18 09:46 AM Hey guys, new member here and also a first time ford owner. I just purchased a 2007 bf xr6 turbo x NSW police car, love it to bits and I’ve only owned it for 2 weeks. One problem exists, the transmission slips when cold first thing in the morning. After the first drive it never has the problem again all day and it only slip when takING off from lights or slowing down around roundabouts. I have tried selection manual mode and it will not enter manual mode whilst it’s doing this????? Any ideas please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the issue is electrical so first thing is do you have access to an obd scan tool or know a mechanic with one? I think some of the supercheap/repco/etc stores have a scan tool if you drive down and ask them they'll come out and plug it in. Without seeing the fault codes you could check for corroded battery terminals and maybe get your battery tested at repco/supercheap/etc. How many ks has the car done? the box could be on it's way out, hopefully not though.

It's near the back of the trans on the drivers side. This guy loves it. I didn't watch the whole clip but that's where the filler plug is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirdy Member 31 Member For: 5y 11m Posted 19/05/18 11:18 AM Author Share Posted 19/05/18 11:18 AM Ok I watched the video so it’s on the side of the transmission towards the back or on the back of the transmission facing the rear of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirdy Member 31 Member For: 5y 11m Posted 19/05/18 11:24 AM Author Share Posted 19/05/18 11:24 AM Yep I thought so, I tried to undo that one first and had no luck, I had correct size hex key and a breaker bar and couldn’t budge it, it actually just stripped the inner hex Looks like I’m in for fun times ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
