Middle of this tread a few of us were able to eliminate it by installing a aftermarket/higher end shifter, but I think you could get away with just trying to re-align the shifter and the transmission. You should be able to see the posts. Nothing from Ford about this that I am aware of.

Sure sounds like it to me!

Mine squeaked with 500 miles on them. Changed the pads out for something different (and lower dust) and they have been silent. Might be worth looking at different pads?

I also had an issue with the exhaust and getting the transmission to lower. My issue was that the exhaust was so strong it was holding the engine up (and in part the trans) and I needed to loosen the clamps at the midpoint of the exhaust and disconnect it to allow the trans to lower with ease...

The noise is just when going into gear? Not when actually in gear? If its not making any sounds while in gear I doubt a new shifter/linkage or re-alignment of the linkage would help much. I installed the MGW and it took care of noise after going into gear. I didn't have any grind or noise going...

Don't waste your money and save for a real upgrade if you want more power. I would get the new thread going about how it damaged your motor and Ford is denying any warranty claims.

I don't see it? ...

Could be an alignment issue, but to be honest its probably just more the nature of the Cup2 tire. Mine wore pretty damn even and still didn't last long. The Cup2 is a track tire in street tire clothes. It really isn't meant for the street imo and shouldn't be expected to last too long. I was...

I haven't had a chance to read this whole post, but those saying the Mach 1 isn't special anymore because of the Dark Horse edition or planning to dump their Mach 1 after this reveal should've just bought a GT :crackup:

These are just how cup 2's are. I swapped mine out for PS4s at ~2k minutes and based on my measurements they only had half their life left. I never tracked the car either.

Sure I can do that next time I run out to the garage. Just know you don't need to buy anything extra from Billetworkz outside of the knob itself. No need for any reverse lockout pieces from them. The MGW shifter is just a threaded rod at the top, so all you really need to do is thread on the jam...

No it just works with the MGW shifter if you choose the correct vehicle type ( Vehicle: Ford Mustang '15+ (12x1.25mm) ). I will say all was not lost. The jam nut from MGW is super high quality and it works perfectly with the billetworkz knob. I can post a pic sometime if that would interest you.

Yes this was the video! I couldn't remember which it was and it wasn't showing in my history when I was looking the first looking. One more wrench in all this (a minor one) I ended up not using the MGW knob for long. It is actually lighter than the stock knob and found for comfort I wanted...

Move the exhaust to quiet and with my H pipe it is still more than ok quiet. But anything outside of that is quite a bit louder than stock for sure:crackup:

To be honest it was just in a few different videos I had found online searching the same question. I never tried it and just went with their knob because of it, but I could be wrong as I never tried.

I went with an MGW white ball shifter to keep it looking mostly stock. I think the height is fine but it is definitely a touch lower than stock. I have heard trying to go with the stock ball on the MGW makes it much shorter, too short even.

I think a big enough stink would need to be caused and then it probably would only warrant a TSB. Maybe adding something would help, but to be honest, it could be a number of things. When you drop the trans down and back up with the MGW install, you may also be "realigning" it that way. I think...

You may very well be right. I can tell you if you are going to go to the trouble to get this done, if you have the cash you might as well just replace it all. It is not easy to get at. The MGW guide was very good, I had a few interesting issues though. I couldn't get the trans to lower enough...

Well it seems we have all landed on this bring a sound due to the shifter linkage. I am finally done with my MGW shifter install and the sound is totally gone. Definitely a shifter linkage issue.

This is exactly as mine is too. As I said earlier today I am starting to swap out the shifter to the MGW. I will report back if anything changes, if nothing changes I am fine with that as I wanted to buy one anyways and this noise and a slight chance of it going away after install put me over...
