Manual Trans. Thud when shifting

[FordService]

I noticed the thud when going into 2nd and 3rd gears. Not that I care about it that much but I just discovered that it doesn't do it when I double clutch.

Hi Ryan,

Sounds like your Pony's stomping her hooves. Have you spoken to your dealer about the tantrum yet? Send over the mileage. I'll see how I can help.

Anyone else's manual transmission make a rotational noise through the shifting boot? It's not super loud, but loud enough to be annoying after a while. Mine has done this since day one and seems to slowly be getting louder with 2,500 miles on it. I hate for my dealer to rip it apart if it's a common noise. It's with the clutch engaged, in any gear at a steady speed/rpm. Just sounds like the gears in the tranny rotating.

Jeff, I sent a PM.

Since this thread has been around for a while has anyone else who's had this noticed it getting much better after putting on some miles?

Im at 3,000 miles and I don't really notice anymore. Maybe once or twice if Im paying attention. The thing is when I go WOT I notice no driveline shock or thudding. That is what Id be concerned about.

Nope. Mine is super quiet. No feedback at all thru the shifter boot.

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't even listened for it at WOT, I guess my mind was on other things. I'm thinking a good cure might be a louder exhaust. ;)

I believe the whiteline insert addresses this issue...

In my case I didn't hear a thud until I installed the whiteline mount ... Now I hear it loud and clear ...

I'll have my dealer look at it then. Thanks Todd!

Does the noise almost sound like a small hint of wind through a tunnel?

Not anything like a wind noise. Sounds like you can hear the gears/tranny parts rotating. Not a metallic sound, more like a plastic rotational noise. When you push in the clutch the noise goes 90% away. If you push in the clutch and rev the motor you can still barely hear it. Possibly clutch component. It has been there since day one but seems to be a little louder now. Very puzzling and nothing like I've ever heard on a stick shift car...and I was a mechanic back in the day.

ill try to keep an ear out for that. wont be til tomorrow, working from home today due to snow.

The noise level matches the RPM too. Windows up, blower down to hear better.

Hey Ryan1112,

Replied to your PM this afternoon. I recommend having this diagnosed by the dealer, as opposed to waiting. They'll be best able to advise on the issue.

So, is Ford going to diagnose hundreds of cars before for no reason if it's "normal" operation? Over 90 % of GT's and specially those with PP are experiencing this in some way. I understand its first year problems or issues, but the MT-82 has been around for the whole s197 generation and now in s550. Can we just get a simple answer from Ford as yes, this is normal or no, this is an issue?
