I would stop powershifting unless money isnt an issue for you and you have a different daily driver.

This car isn't my daily, only ever comes out on weekends. I'm sure the loud thud I am getting is just slop in the driveshaft or something of that nature hitting when power gets back applied to it

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It scares me sometimes at stoplights if I have it in neutral and then go into first and hear the noise.

My 2015 with 2500 miles has been doing it and worse.. Just got it back from the dealer who kept the car for 4 days and said "it's normal"..lol The GM is the one who drove it and said leave it with us? He heard and felt the noise and said it was "not normal".. ?
Very confused, but I will figure it out...
Someone on this forum drove it and told me that he felt it, but also felt a bit more play in shifter...
Great forum...

Less than 125 miles on the car, i get the thud too when going from neutral to first. However, the slower I put it in 1st the less it thuds until slowly and smoothly putting it in first creates zero thud. I assume this is just normal operation with the trans/torsen/etc.

Mine was that quite at 125 miles also, gets worse with time

What is the "thud" if it is normal? Just curious

 

[350Mike]

Does anyone with aftermarket shifters experience the thud?

No

 

[Hwy1]

No

Guess I know what shifter I am getting..

Back on page 22 one guy said he put DSS 800 HP axles and the thud went away. That's as far as I've gotten.

Being as this is a brand new rear end for the Mustang, could be the issue..

I thought I read all the posts. Would be nice to narrow it down if it is related to half shafts.

All I know is I just pumped gas in my car.. And on the back drivers side window is a sticker that says 'world class vehicles'. ... With a thud that is. I've never had a car that had a thud like this.

To be honest I'm surprised more people haven't taken this to the next level .. And with so many people having it .. And many who I'm guessing just don't realize what we're talking about and think they don't.. That Ford has done anything about it. I'm sure they realize if it's trans or diff related it will = very expensive recall.
