- it has an engine!
Its mostly related to the PP diff in the cars. My 17 doesnt have it. I also didnt buy a PP. Ive still yet to read any non pp owners complain. Ive also told you that this isnt an uncommom thing on IRS equipped vehicles. I also dont see any autos complaining about it either. You just want to complain, in my opinion.It is NOT the drive two piece drive shaft.
It is a combination of the rear end sub chassis and rear end shifting slightly against the main chassis. That is why the clunk thump is such a low frequency sounding noise.
While standing still, I can depress the clutch and rapidly shift between gears. Each time I enter another gear, THUD! Six gear shifts, six thuds. I am approaching 10,000 miles now I have never become used to it or accepting of it. The problem and aggravating noise persists. I read owners of the 2017 also have the thud and the GT350 cars have it too.
I am pretty sure I am moving away from Ford for my next car. I am very disappointment by the total lack of support from Ford with this problem and their lack of providing a fix for a production wide manual shift Mustang defect.
