It's also good practice when trying to remove steel parts that are threaded into ally to tighten them slightly first then back them off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get it loose and a top up could help with the slipping. It is entirely possible that it has never been serviced so some fresh oil and a pan wouldn't go astray.

ken.cun New Member 7 Member For: 6y 1m 19d Posted 22/05/18 02:35 AM Share Posted 22/05/18 02:35 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 helpMine doesn’t change properly for first hundred meters after that it normal,I put it down to external aftermarket cooler (heat exchanger bypass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Gulf Western SYN-TS fluid as well feels a bit smoother than the Lifeguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
