Ask Smithy Xtra Clunky Falcon gearshift

I saw reference to an issue with clunking gearshifts with the six-speed auto in the Falcon. Is this a big issue with them, or is it in a small number? Is this something that can be checked on the vehicle prior to purchase with a simple road test?

We have certainly had a few reports of hard gearshifts with the six-speed auto, but that’s not to say all cars are affected. A good test drive at various speeds, light and hard throttle, should be able to find the problem is it exists.
