Had my new GT with Manual Trans for 3 days now. 160 miles so far. Been about 15 years since driving a manual so getting the muscle memory and technique back. However, i’ve noticed that when accelerating, say moderate to heavy acceleration, shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd, if I get ahead of myself and start to get on the gas before having the clutch pedal fully released there is this sound and vibration that is like a fast ratchet that stops once i’m completely off the clutch. It almost like the car giving feedback saying “Hey! Don’t do that”. It’s not grinding gears, the gear shift is fully in gear. Also does NOT happen when starting off in first from a stop. Anyone else experience this or know if it is a problem (other than my relearning curve)?
Update: researched this more. Several post and YouTube videos with 2018 Manual Mustangs making this sound when shifting at 4K+ RPM. Didn’t see any 2019 posts. So, still interested to see if any 2019 owners are experiencing this. Others describe as a “buzz” sound. To me it sounds like one of those hand buzzer prank gadgets. Or paper tearing. Sound last just a fraction of a second. Pretty annoying. Not sure if I should take to the dealer or not.
