    Intermittent vibration in XR6 gearbox

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2010
    Last year we noticed an intermittent vibration in the six-speed auto in our 2010 XR6. Tests confirmed that the transmission was contaminated with water due to cooler failure. The dealer looked after us very well and supplied a loan vehicle while a new transmission was installed. I asked about the fitting of an external cooler instead of the water cooled one and was told that the failure was very unusual and was unlikely to reoccur. I'm thinking we might get an external cooler fitted before then.

    It was thought that the revised cooler design had fixed the problem, and that was backed up by a lack of reports of failed coolers for a long time, but more recently we have been getting reports of coolers failing and damaging the transmission. That would suggest the problem hasn't been fixed. It's worth considering fitting an external cooler.
