Hello! Please can anyone give me a possible suggestion what the possible fault is on a 1996 2.8 V6 Ford Galaxy Auto-Box with no 4th gear ? I have done the seach on the Forum and I've found no answer to match my question. Thanks!

Yes have used them in the past and works for a few thousands of miles until next service. Have to put another can or two in everytime engine oil changes, realised the cost added up. Found 'XADO' and never looked back and yes this does work, had the compressor tested and 'wow!' but it won't repair any broken parts, just normal worn.

The rattle sound could be from the Catalytic Converter (Honeycombe breaking up inside) if you or someone can pin-point where it is coming from, also the the extra fuel enrichment could be the exhaust blocking up the gas flow, so you will need to find the main cause of the fault and recifie it - i.e. fault code reader. Hope this helps.

I have a Ford but it's not a Galaxy (yet) at my local (well not that close) and this is what they did - drop pan, empty old A.T.F. then replace for new filter, seals, pan gasket and sump back on. Using the 'T-Tech' machine via Radiator cooling pipes to remove the remaining old A.T.F. from the Torque Converter then pump the new fresh (my choice of) A.T.F. in. This is done at every 30,000 miles (including adjusted the Brake Bands) to keep the Auto-Box in shipshape without any over heating breakdowns or any Auto-Box issues. I have found this kind of method gives no lost of performance or Fuel economy. P.S. A dirty M.A.F. (Mass AirFlow Sensor) can cause gearbox malfunctions, incorrect ratio errors, loss of 4th gear or torque converter clutch (T.C.C.) operation. The M.A.F. should be cleaned or replaced before having the gearsbox overhauled at great expense. Hope this helps!
