Question Auto not selecting 6th.

Hello hello,

When we bought our Mondeo last week, it was a 65km drive home along a highway. I noticed that in “D” and as I accelerated up to 105km/hr the auto was up shifting as it should but would not shift up in to 6th. I manually selected 6th gear and the auto held it.

If I slowed down and in doing so the box changed down to 5th it would not select 6th again when I speed back up to 105km/hr.

Another short highway run yesterday and it was doing the same thing.

I would not have thought of this as normal operation of the tranny. To me it does not seem right, but no such thing as stupid question eh?

Cheers.

I thought the same about mine when I first got it. Any speed below 100kph and it would not upshift into 6th. 2 months on I have figured that it won't shift up until I exceed 100kph. Get yours up to 110kph and see what it does.

Just went for a quick spin and sure enough it kicked up to 6th at around 108kph. I wonder if that can be changed to 100kph without to much trouble.

Thanks Rapscallion.

Its more of an overdrive once Freeway/Highway speeds [110] are maintained hence the better fuel results on theses trips

Hmmm according to the rev counter its in 6th gear well below the 100kph mark! I was on the F5 doing 85kph and was just under 2000 r.p.m.

One month on, I have noticed that the auto is still not selecting 6th by itself all the time. I noticed that driving along at 105kph and I slow down and then accelerate back up to speed the auto will select 6th as it should.

I have found that if driving again at 105kph with cruise on and I slow down and press then resume on the cruise the auto will not ever select 6th.

Strange huh? Cruise off it will select 6th - cruise on it will not select 6th.♦

Any one else found something like this?

Mine is almost the opposite.
If I set the cruise for 100kmh and at some point back off then re-enable cruise it changes to 6th as it reaches the 100kmh point.
Whereas if I manually accelerate to 100kmh I have to go slightly over, lift the foot slightly and the vehicle changes to 6th.
