Ford ZF6 Transmission Milkshake FLUSH Pt.2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- In this video I managed to use some used ZF fluid to flush out as much of the milkshaking from the transmission as possible. Then I put some fresh fluid in... so far, so good!
There’s still hope for this old Falcon yet!

Awesome! Always got to love seeing another B series saved from the parts bin....
@@Andrewf73 Absolutely mate… it was this close too 👌🏼
Bloody awesome result.
Cheers mate, I'm pretty stoked!
Sweet good to see it going well
I believe by the video your not to far from me suburb wise I can sort that ABS position sensor out for you for free if you want using my laptop
So happy to have it up and running.
Oh mate, you’re a legend… I really appreciate that. I literally just got myself a good cable to use with FORScan. I’ve never used it before so I’ll probably have a go at it myself but if I get stuck I’ll let you know.
Cheers mate.
Mate 10 out of 10 well done see never give up fantastic
Cheers mate, there's some life left in the old girl yet!
Awesome job on getting the car running and moving in all directions 👍👍
@@jasonswift7098 Was a good feeling with the car being such a gamble to begin with. There’s still hope for it yet 👍🏼
I fitted a PWR heat exchanger to the ZF 6 speed in my F6X territory. No kit available for territory you have to adapt a FG kit with a super result.
@@grantanderson8221 Ah nice one mate, good thing you were able to make it work. 👍🏼
Awesome!! Nice one Jeenzy. Glad it worked out.
Cheers mate… me too! Don’t know how long it will last at least it’s going again.
Now I’m paranoid about this on my dad’s Fairlane. But I can’t run it long enough because it needs a new post cat O2 or O2 spacer.
Also that’s so awesome to see that driving. I’m glad to see it driving and not being a parts car
I know what you mean mate... I'd been putting off getting rid of the cooler since I got my car, and finally got rid of it.
Was definitely a good feeling going for that first spin down the road.
@@Jeenzy79to bad Manuel transmissions are worth gold. 😂
What a wacky idea to have your trans cooled by water
Awesome mate. Well done! If you have the steering wheel SAS (black box on wrapping around the steering shaft), then you need a scan tool to recalibrate SAS due to TC light. Usally the BF ghia's, Turbo and the XR8 has EBD as standard. Therefore, your's is optioned with it. Even better with safety features.
Cheers mate! Ah rightey'o... I'll take the wheel off and have a look at it. I did swap over the steering angle sensor when I fixed the ignition switch so I thought that may have something to do with it. The wheel is loose so I think the bloke before me may have swapped the column and didn't tighten it up properly as well.
Looks like you caught it just in time, old fluid was a great idea
I hope so mate... I may end up flushing it again if it ends up registered but yeah, the old fluid worked a treat.
SO far so good, hey
🤞🏼
That's awesome that it's now even drivable. Really got to do the service on the ZF of my car. Keep going looking forward to next video.
I know mate I was pretty happy to get it moving knowing that just these few things have kept it off the road for so long. I just serviced my ZF after overthinking it and putting it off for too long. Was really easy to do... and if you can delete the heat exchanger as well, even better!
@Jeenzy79 sweet, do you notice much difference in how the car drives after a service?
@@keyboardwarrior3241 I drove it for the first proper drive today and can definitely notice the difference. Quite noticeably smoother through the lower gears. It’ was smooth before but the tiniest bit laggy if I’m being fussy, now it’s really smooth.
@Jeenzy79 That's really neat. I've noticed that mine thumps a bit from 4th ➡️5th and 5th ➡️ 6th, as well as 2nd ➡️ 1st occasionally, even though I've replaced the transmission mount and engine mounts. It still thuds a bit during gear changes.
win and a half, she seems fine
So far so good! 🤞🏼
You are a WINNER mate, good onya 👍.
Cheers mate! 👍
Hey mate you should be stoked, what a great result fantastic.
Pretty stoked with it so far! Cheers mate 👍🏼
Fantastic news never doubt yourself your intelligent enough too what a great buy
i know what i would be doing fixing it up
Thanks mate, you just never know with these cars. I’m sure there’s plenty more surprises to be found. Hopefully it’ll be back on the road.
@@Jeenzy79 tidy that paint up lovely colour
@@russelblackwell6041 Going to do what I can with it.
You are a BSeries Master
🤣 Aha... new name for the channel ya reckon 🤣
Cheers mate 👍
I have a BA and I wanted to install a new rad and separate trans cooler (even though it is not as critical on the BTR).
From my research on "flushing" the transmission, I found that you have to raise the rear wheels off the ground when you go through the gears.
Doing the job at home on jack stands I was more than a little nervous about putting the car in gear with the wheels in the air, but it worked out.
Good to see your result and I am interested to hear how it works out for you, as all the forums reckon you can't fix the ZF after a shake.
@@mattjacomos2795 Hey mate, I know exactly what you mean. I couldn’t find anything positive with regards to flushing the ZF with any success after milkshaking. Time will tell how it goes but so far so good.
I’d still be putting a cooler on a BTR if it was my own car. At least you know there’s 0 chance of it ever happening. A small investment to avoid a lot of hassle.
I was aware the back wheels were on the ground. I was actually doing way other transmission at the same time I did this one and had both cars in the air. I ran out of stands and jacks 😆
I am going to flush the transmission in this car one more time so I will make sure the car is level when I do.
@Jeenzy79 I did fit an external cooler on the old Busted Arse Falcon, as well as a V8 rad. I hadn't milkshaked my trans but...
@@mattjacomos2795 Ah nice one mate! Better safe than sorry. I’ve just done the same on my ZF. Better safe than sorry.
Clutch packs would be shit once they get done it’s hard
I’ve been told once the ZF milkshakes the clutch packs are pretty much gone. I just need the thing to run for now while I try to get it registered. Can always sort the transmission out down the road once it’s back on the road if it ends up a fail I guess.
@@Jeenzy79just watch out on the road as when it’s gone u loose some power
@@nickwilliams-li6wr Ah good to know... Cheers mate! 👍
Well there you go. I was fairly curious to see the result and to see it worked was fantastic. Wonder how many ZFs were scrapped when they may have been saved? Cheers
I know right, I did a bit of research before i made the call to try salvaging this one. Everything I seemed to come across was saying that once a ZF is milkshaked, it's all over. I don't know how long this one will last but I'll probably end up doing another flush on it if it ends up registered and hope for the best.
I work next door to Perth gearbox and diff, its a longshot being the age of these rigs now, but i'll see if they have any 6 speeds laying around. Otherwise hit a wrecking yard up and hope for the best. probably better than rebuilding one, my mate reckons its genually about 1000 a gear. could always try a home rebuild, im tempted to try one on a 4 speed lol. theres a few decent vids on youtube for the 4 speeds these days, id imagine the 6 speeds are the saem
Hey mate, cheers for the offer... you're a legend! After flushing it, this one actually seems to be ok thankfully! How long it lasts may be another story but so far so good.
Time to tidy up the interior a little bit. If you want any of the stock interior bits I've taken out of my ute let me know.
@@jamesaustralian9829 That’s the plan mate. That’s awesome of you mate, i appreciate it! I have plenty of spares in the shed but I’m definitely going to need a rear seat and I may just change out the carpet yet… will have to see once I get into it.
@@Jeenzy79 no worries, why not do something different an rip the carpet out in favour of flooring vinyl out of a house ? I've done that in my ute it looks mint and it's heaps easier to keep clean.
Good job mate and great idea about reusing the fluid from the other Falcon. I would def flush 2 more times to be sure. Question, will you fit an external cooler to this and if so, a video of the installation would be awesome content. 😉🤔
Thanks mate. I'll definitely be flushing it again, most likely once its back on the road. Funny you ask that... I fitted an external cooler to my own car just yesterday and have the footage from that to upload so keep an eye out. I may end up fitting one to this car as well just to be safe. Cheers.
Legend ! Great to have a win
I have no idea but would my BF GT-P ZF have the same dicky heat exchanger ? Worries me….
I think the V8 has it in the radiator (as the heat exchanger like the radiators off a BA/BF BTR 4 speed) and no heat exchanger on the tranny. If that is the case, you still need this.
Cheers mate... I'll end up flushing it again in the future, now it just a matter of how long it lasts.
All of the B-Series have them fitted from factory mate apart from the manual transmissions. If your cooling system is maintained it may not even happen. But it's always a possibility. This car got me motivated to finally remove mine from my Fairmont just yesterday. Zero chance of it happening now.
@@vincekara9446 Legend...👍
I would def upgrade to an external cooler. I think all autos in B series Falcons have these (ZF) or similar incorporated in the radiator (BTR), which still can milkshake over time. Best to get a external cooler kit to avoid it. Google is your friend here so do some research on it. Most good Auto transmission shops can install them and pretty quickly, but can also be done by your self if you choose as they have good instructions.
@@tobo26 cheers - yes I fitted a radiator bypass cooler myself on my BA2 XR6 btr 4 spd - was pretty easy
