- 2016 Roush Warrior S/C
Greetings from Germany
Just picked up a 2016 Supercharged Roush Warrior at the port in Bremerhaven Germany on Monday. Broke it in (lightly) for the 6 hour autobahn drive home and have only taken it out of the garage once since due to crappy weather.
This is my first mustang since owning a LX 5.0 manual back in '88 and I have a quick question for anyone who may be able to shed some insight. I did a quick search of this forum and didn't find reference to it so I'm just going to throw this out there.
Ever since I picked up the car, I've been experiencing a clunk on every upshift between 2 and 4 but never on the downshifts. Both me and my passenger can hear (and FEEL) a pronounced clunk/thud, with the clutch fully engaged, as it goes into gear. I can literally be coasting with the clutch to the floor and shift back and forth between 1-2, or 2-3, or 3-4 and it clunks every time it goes into a higher gear but is smooth as butter when shifting into a lower gear.
My previous car was a 6-speed GTO with IRS and a T56 tranny and I've driven many other makes and models of performance cars and never experienced anything like this. I'm going to try and drive another 2016 manual GT this weekend to see if it does the same thing but it feels like something is wrong to me. I feel it in the shifter, down the driveline, all the way to the diff, so I'm not really sure of the exact location. The clunk is significant enough that both me and my wife can feel it in our seats too. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Is it normal/typical?
