10R80 - slow to engage D

[LowKey]

Hi all,

Have a new 2018 GT with 500KM on it. I live on quite a hill, and when i back down the driveway and put it in D, there's around a 2 second delay or so engaging drive. I'm used to it in my MY18 i30 but that's a DCT and is normal behaviour. I have two other torque converter cars that don't have a noticeable delay. It can also be harsh in lower gears while upshifting, but i'm told there's an update to smooth it out which i haven't done yet. It also has the "i just added a turbo" whistle in several gears, which i've also heard is common. Is this delay from R to D normal behaviour for the 10R80? Kinda sounds like low fluid to me. It drives fine in any other regard, and is smooth enough when it wants to be.

Thanks

Yes it is normal. My 19 does it too

Here’s a thread I started a while back for the 10R80 (and I’ve been updating) which contains all of the current Ford TSB/GSB/SSM information:

My '18 EBPP does this as well - first thing in the morning after just backing down the driveway. Doesn't do it after work that I can tell, but I mostly park so I can pull straight ahead from park on the way home.
