    Ricardo Transaxle problem with 3rd to 4th change - intermittent

    Fixed!!!! While a few people gave me some options but they all involved getting the box out and pulling it down. So before I took this route I decided to have a look myself. Thinking about the issue I thought it would be best to look at the selector assembly as the issue could be there...

    Ricardo Transaxle problem with 3rd to 4th change - intermittent

    Well unfortunately disconnecting the cooler did nothing and trying to manually change at the selectors did not help either. Its in the box. Crap :( I guess my only option is find someone in Australia to help disassemble the box and look for a reason for this 4th gear issue or send the whole...

    Ricardo Transaxle problem with 3rd to 4th change - intermittent

    Really guys I appreciate the support. Yes its a Coyote Aluminator with stage 3 Comp cams, billet oil pump and a very nice 8-stack system made out of billet. The induction sound is pretty crazy.

    Ricardo Transaxle problem with 3rd to 4th change - intermittent

    I have a Ricardo transaxle that's running very well but I just have one intermittent issue. I must advise that this transmission is in a GT40 not Ford GT.

    Ricardo Transaxle Fluid Help

    Is anyone using non OE transaxle fluid? I'm asking as the required 4 quarts (liters) of Motorcraft XT-75W90-QGT fluid is not available in Australia. I may import some but just wanted to know if there is a major manufacturer equivalent. Thanks
