there`s a few pics on ebay of the s5 from various models, they are only small pics , if you enlarge the page, ctrl and + together you might see the screw, the au ones don`t look much different from the earlier models, on one add it says and i quote
"Fits all Ford 4 Speed BTR Transmissions from 1997 to 2008 (AU to BF)". http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falc...#ht_1582wt_944 |

Still no idea on which way you turn the screw to increase the shift pressure........

Dont even bother playing with the s5,just get an adjustable shiftkit and adjust the firmness of the shifts to your hearts content,at least this way if you get sick of chirping tyres you can turn it off without dropping the trans pan,fluid,solenoid etc.
Too easy. |

i weakened and let an auto trans shop do a service on mine a couple of weeks ago, first time in 8 years as the weathers been crap and working under a car on a driveway that had regular visits from a kenworth ..... and hate to say it.........i just sometimes feel i'm getting to old for this **** :(.
i asked the guy to tweak the line pressure a tad while he was at it, as the Au has had a hard life and getting a bit soft in the changes, i told him i wanted it a bit firm as i do a bit of towing , anyway after picking it up he asked me to take it for a run or just let him know if it was ok, instantly driving off i could feel a faster firmer shift while cruising around at grandpa speed, after giving it the grand pa test ...........i give it the berries from a standing start ................ omagawd !!! ...... when it banged into 2nd gear i thought the front wheels were going to lift off the ground ..... holy broken diff or engine mount batman . It would probably be a little firm for some people, but i like it , even though it does show a bit of the backlash from a 214000 k old diff, probably not all that good to do to a car with some hard years on it, but if something fails i would not complain and just fix it and have no qualms about it as its been the best car i have ever had. One thing i might mention, over drive/top gear didn't seem to get much if any firmer in the shift, perhaps a tad faster to shift, but not firmer if that makes sense, perhaps it is a sign of wear in my auto ?? just an observation there. |

some one did mention the s5 adjustment , if i recall correctly a small turn of the screw made a big difference, which direction to turn the screw is the next thing . |
