    Ford Falcon 2005: Slipping transmission

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2005 Ford Falcon 2006

    The automatic transmission in my 2005 BF Falcon XR6 has been slipping when going from second to third only when cold. I had it serviced and a shift solenoid installed by the auto experts without any change. He now thinks it will need a rebuild. Could it be computer related as it came up error code when tested by local wrecker with a computer? I'm at a loss. I've already spent up to $580 dollars without fixing it. Everything seems fine once the gearbox warms up. Hope you can give me some advice?

    You've done the things that would normally be done when a car comes in with this sort of complaint, that is servicing the transmission and installing a new 2-3 shift solenoid. If that hasn't fixed it the next step would be to delve inside and rebuild it. It's unlikely to be a computer glitch, but perhaps the error code could help tell you what the issue is.
