I currently own a 2017 gt 350 that I just purchased 1 month ago with 12,000 miles from a ford dealership, Ford cpo c certified. I purchased silver plan extended warranty as well.
I've had the gt 350 in my garage since I received it one month ago hooked up to a battery tender. Wednesday although it was cold, I felt like the roads were finally free of winter sand, so I decided to take it for a ride to the company that is going to detail the mustang for me in the spring. I thought it would be good if he got a look at the paint condition before he actually tackled the paint protection and detailing. I had a 45 minute ride to the garage and a 45 minute ride home.
On the way to the Detailer the GT 350 ran great. I took it easy, tried to keep the rpm's under 4000 rpm's and I did not drive crazy, especially with the stock tires and it being 28 degrees outside.
On the way home I noticed that in second and third gear once I got to 3500 RPM'S I could hear a very slight rattling coming from the stick shift. It actually sounded like if you had loose change quarters, dimes, or pennies sitting on the dash board, very slight and faint. The transmission shifted fine and the engine sounds great. But again in second and third gear from below 3500 rpm's nothing, exactly at 3500 rpm's and up I could hear the slight rattling. I was not playing the radio at all so I know what I was hearing. I figured out it was coming from the stick shift so I grabbed the bottom of the stick where the leather trim is at the base and it muted the sound. I called the dealership I purchased the GT 350 from and spoke to the salesman I bought the car from. Luckily he is very mechanically inclined and after I explained the sound to him and where it was coming from he said it could be linkage, and if it was continuing in the spring to bring it in and they could have it fixed in 4-5 hours. He was good about it.
I'm just curious from other GT 350 owners if anybody else has experienced this.
Thank you.
