Sixcentz New Member 2 Member For: 3y 11m 2d Posted 30/07/21 10:41 AM Share Posted 30/07/21 10:41 AM Just picked up this 2003 xr6t 4 speed auto for a bargain - great car so far other than this jolt it has with the gearbox when changing from first to second at low speed (without acceleration) If I give it a bit of gas it shifts perfectly fine, if I’m using the triptronic it shifts perfectly fine. Seems as if first gear holds for too long then all of a sudden bangs into second gear (revs are off?) Any help regarding this issue would be much appreciated!

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,583 Member For: 17y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/07/21 10:47 AM Share Posted 30/07/21 10:47 AM pretty standard for an old 4sp... you can get it tuned out or it might be something mechanical like the centre bearing or something like that causing a thud.

It’s done 189,000 he’d used it as a daily commuter for the passed 7 years doing around 80km a day guessing a lot of that would have been bumper to bumper traffic which probably has something to do with the thud. Picked it up for $2000, in NZ it was stuck on limp mode & supposedly had a stuffed turbo which turned out to be loose bolts.

They can cause different issues and one is what your saying Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96347-rough-gear-change-at-low-speed-auto-ba/#findComment-1706834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
