ford XF/fairlane auto problems

[Kingpin]

anyone on here know about xf era for auto boxes? or recommend any good garages?

heres what my problem is:

the auto is slipping if i put the boot in too hard...someone told me its belts slipping and probably knackered....so i have been looking for a replacement auto. i then called an auto place up and the said it may just need adjusting.....

any opinions?

What year is it?

You say xf, but I think you mentioned it's a '95, which would make it an nf (ie same as ef falcon)?

I think the same happened in my old ef, to start with it was when I put my foot down and revs would slowly rise then it was as it a clutch dropped and power then went to the wheels. After a while it started to do it even at part throttle.

IIRC there is no way to tighten the belts, which iirc was the problem, as there is no adjustment. I think the only way is to replace, which means rebuild, so you will probably find a 2nd hand box cheaper.

FWIW check out fordmods.com - plenty of tech info in there if you can wade through the rubbish.

Hope im not stating the obviuos, but is the fluid level to where it should be ? No doubt you have already checked but i had the same problem once and thought my box was stuffed.

Ah yes ^ this, didn't work for me but mine was well fucked, car had a tough life before I got it.

sorry should have said...its an 85 fairlane. fluid level all good.

i can and do drive it every day and its sweet even up the gorge. it just slips if i try and boot it from the lights or something.
