2nd Gear Creaking Noise

[enzo101]

Noticed while cruising though town that, in 2nd gear, it creaks bad. Happens when the RPMs are over 2500. Any ideas?

Gotta narrow this down for us. Is this coming from the engine, trans, suspension?

Does it matter if the suspension is loaded or unloaded? Does turning affect it?

It sounds like its coming from the plastic ring around the shifter boot. It happens under acceleration. Turning doesn't affect it.

Is you hand on the shifter?

 

[enzo101]

No.

Same thing with mine dude...past 4k in second gear makes me cringe a lil bit

Record it with your phone and share the vid.

I'd take it to the dealer. My best friend called me a from a local dealer today. They have an comp orange 350 there that he's looking to buy, it is new with 7 miles on it and is awaiting a transmission as it will not stay in 2nd gear. It's not to say there is an issue but defects happen with outside suppliers so just to be on the safe side I'd take it in.

I had the same thing. Check the O rings that are part of the plastic collar assembly. One of them mine was missing.

Or take it to the dealership, they eventually agreed to replace my shifter assembly as a whole.

Would it be cool if I sent the video through a text message? I can't get it to load.

I took mine to the dealership yesterday to document a shifting noise. I noticed between 1st and 2nd, at high RPM's when shifting gears, there is a sound. I'd like to hear your recording and see if it is the same.

The tech (nice guy) said that they were going to enter it into the OASIS and then call Ford and discuss it. We drove it together and both observed the noise.

I noticed that the sound is less when I use minimal guiding (sideways) force to ensure the shifter goes into second. What I mean by that is I don't want to inadvertently wind up in 4th gear because I didn't use sideways pressure to ensure it goes into second.

Anyway, my point is that I believe the noise is lessened with use of less sideways force on the shifter. I will have to experiment with that today.

second gear noise

ok took mine in yesterday

Transmission noise?
there is an excessive wine (vibration) in second that I dont hear in other gears
if I press the shifter to the right the noise dissapears
I can only hear it with the radio off and in normal mode
just being picky maybe
might be only related to the shifter?

checked all bolts for crossmember, mount bolts, shifter assembly and mounts
found a few bolts under spec for crossmember and mount, torqued all bolts to spec
inspected sifter assembly under console; ok
road test identical unsold shelby 350 (9miles ) to compare
both vehicles performed the same and the same feel in the shifter

still have the noise? particularly if I rest my hand on the shifter while in second
over all noise is lessened
note; this is specific to second

Le sigh! Mine makes all kinds of noises! I love them so much i drown them out with Sport and throttle application.

Did you or him look at the assembly of the plastic collar?
