Ok, the dealer had it for one week in order to figure out the clunking and the metallic kind of grinding noise at around 3000 rpm. Bottom line is, they exchanged my clutch. After picking up the car I still had some clunking but it is much less pronounced, so definitely an improvement. I only...

... posted that in another thread (Grinding noise on 2nd and 4th gear), may be interesting here also: I investigated the problem by myself over the weekend and found that the stock shifter is mainly responsible for this grinding/rattling kind of noise at 2500+ rpm due to vibration. As I had...

Update ... I investigated the problem by myself over the weekend and found that the stock shifter is mainly responsible for this grinding/rattling kind of noise at 2500+ rpm due to vibration. As I had the Barton shifter here anyway I just removed the stock shifter assembly and installed the...

Thanks, I totally agree, I would not exchange the trans either without knowing exactly what it is. Today I played around a bit and disengaged the clutch in 3rd and 4th gear at around 3000rpm (where the noise is most pronounced) and kept the 3000 in neutral with the throttle. The noise and...

Thanks for the detailed description. Really seems to be the same or at least very similar problem. If I add mass to the shifter by grabbing it, it also gets better but does not go away completely. Just out of curiosity I drove with open shift boot today and there is lots of vibration underneath...

Ok, this is the noise from my trans coming out of my shifter boot which concerns me much more than the thud itself. This is 3rd gear at 3000 rpm - no acceleration. I really don't think that this is normal at all but I await your judgement ...

Shift boot noise video ... Just thought I add a short video (recorded with my smartphone today) showing the noise I got from the shift boot. This is 3rd gear at 3000 rpm. Think you can hear the strange grinding noise or whatever you wanna call it quite good ...

No offense, but some of these guys you refer to may have driven more manual cars then you can imagine and therefore know by experience that this is not a normal behavior. It is all about how extensive the clunking/grinding is which finally differentiates it from normal. However, good to hear...

I do have a 2016 GT PP and this is exactly what I experience. I am currently in several dealer loops including extensive clunking issues when shifting but this rotational/grinding whatever noise also concerns me much more (see http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52721). Comes...

From my experience everything is normal in the first place. Obviously this seems to work for most customers. I told them right away that I do need an explanation that is satisfying from an engineering perspective. Usually, I don't get this kind of explanation which is only telling me that they...

Update ... ... got it back from my dealer yesterday. Told them upfront there is no need to exchange the driveshaft as it will not fix the problem ... guess what ... they called me and said they exchanged the driveshaft, I can pick her up and everything is totally fine now :doh:. When picking it...

Ok, after experiencing increased grinding/banging/clunking from the trans I called my dealer. Just feel not comfortable anymore driving this car as it is and I don't need the fun experience to end up on the Highway somewhere. So I will drop it off tomorrow and get a temporary one (let's see what...

Gorgeous :thumbsup:, that is why you better do that without your better part or provide a detailed screen-play upfront :D. However, at least you got it filed and an appointment. Here it is more like "we call Ford and ask them what to do before we do anything ...". Btw, was not to easy for me...

You are right, the clunk in general is not uncommon and some play is indeed required as a stiff mounting would wear out either trans or diff very quickly. However, if the play is way over spec (and some experienced this ...) this, besides the elevated clunk noise, could be critical. The reason...

... Update ... Ok, visited my dealer today and test drove it. The guy said that he could clearly hear the noise coming from the trans and that this is not normal at all (I do have 1000k on it ...). I also only need to press the shifter very slightly to the left in 2nd gear and the noise level...
