Transmission is clunky and loud in most of the lower gears. From a stop, with the clutch pressed all of the way in, from neutrual shift as if you are going into first, but don't push up - give it a tap, maybe 1/8-1/4 inch. I feel a "slam" and hear it as well - a hard knock. Shifting to 2, 3, & 4 are all loud at times as well, definitely a clunky noise heard in and outside of the car. Took it to Ford they said that's just how these transmission are - the 350s have better transmission. Reading about aluminum forks and some cars losing gears, this worried me. Even if I don't break down, my car is shiftin like $^!* Take it back to Ford and say what? I am not trying to spend my life swapping loaners, but if I can make progress I will. I want to modify the car, but I need to make sure everything is tip top share before I void anything. Help is appreciated!
