That would mean hopefully that my diff is working when it spins one wheel.

The first 2 photos are of a 1997 Ford Ranchero Outback, currently for sale on OLX...
The parts diagram, is a printout I received from my local Ford dealer today, depicting both the standard differential unit and the Hydratrak.

Re: Ford Falcon XH Ute
I seem to have developed an odd issue.
Periodically if i am cruising along in drive at about 60 km per hour, the rpms jump up as if the gearbox in neutral.
Then i have to shift into 3rd then play with the accelerator pedal until it shifts into gear again.
Or another thing it does is stay in 1st or 2 nd gear and wont shift up until i do the same fiddling procedure.
I havent changed the gearbox oil and the level is correct.

Re: Ford Falcon XH Ute
I would change the oil n check the cooler. Maybe flush the cooler
Magic happens.
Re: Ford Falcon XH Ute
I am planning to dot that.
According to the sedan manual: I need 10 litres of Castrol TQ95 automatic transmission oil.
I phoned my local Midas and they say they don't have that but according to their specs i can use Castrol Dextron 2.
This will be R395 per 5 litre.
The the autobox oil filter is available from my local Ford Dealership.
2 days to arrive.
+-R1400.
Needless to say i don't think i am going to buy the filter form the dealer.

Re: Ford Falcon XH Ute
I bought some oil.
Castrol dextron 2
Drained the old oil.
Cleaned filter.
The stealer wanted R1400 for a new one.
Then refitted and filled with fresh oil.
It is still doing the odd shifting into neutral and staying in low gear. I suspect it might be voltage related.

Re: Ford Falcon XH Ute
Isn't that oil suppose to be pink/redish..?
Its my understanding that an auto box with brown to dark oil has burned a clutch or a couple..

The oil that went in is now red .
However the Sedan manual I have says that color doesn't indicate condition.
Makes no sense to me
