Possible transmission issue - Ecoboost

[Noble-6]

Hey, all - so I encountered a weird issue. I'm driving an Ecoboost PP w/ the automatic transmission.

There's 750mi on it and haven't pushed it hard until tonight. I was coming from a stop and briefly took it to just shy of 6000RPM (I let the computer do the shifting). When this happened there was a high-frequency buzzing/vibration that I could hear from what seemed to be the back of the car and also feel in the shifter.

Tried to re-create it and it did the same thing from another stop.

A few minutes later, I made a right turn and felt a thud from the right side of the vehicle. I went home and pulled it into my driveway and then noticed a slight thud when shifting from 'Drive' to 'Park' and an even louder thud/vibration when shifting it back into 'Drive.

I drove the car around again, and it seemed to be shifting normally between gears but is still making the same thud when shifting between Park/Reverse/Drive. It never did this before.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Hey Noble-6,

Have you contacted your dealer yet about this concern? We don't want the Pony to keep stomping her feet around. PM your VIN, name, phone number, and dealer info. I'll take a look at the situation.

Yes, it was a little difficult to hear in your video but from what I could make out, mine sounded very similar.

It's a mechanical clunking sound from the under-body occasionally accompanied by a slight jerk in the car when the shift is made.

The car is fun to drive, but between these potential issues, plus the multitude of rattles and body panel quality control issues, I'm starting to have buyer's remorse.

Damn, that is ridiculous to have on a brand new car. I'm sorry for all the trouble you went through on that. How's it running now?

Thanks, it seems to be driving fine, but I'm keeping an eye on it.
