  1. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    UPDATE: A month in and still quiet. Even if it’s not a revised transmission. Probably just jinxed myself by posting this lol. Just waiting for the day the noise comes back, but all in all, still good right now!
  2. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Got her back today! New transmission is as quiet as ever which is to be expected. We’ll see how long it lasts. I will say though, I was surprised just how much slop in shift feel my old one had slowly developed. I didn’t notice since it was so slow developing. This new one is CRISP. I had...
  3. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    No performance issues. I guess I’m just overly optimistic in thinking that there might be a SLIM chance a new transmission could fix it. And I’m a little spiteful too and just want Ford to do something lol- maybe not the best trait to have. At the time when I took it in, the TSB was still...
  4. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Definitely can do and will report back. Dealer called today and said it will be ready on Monday. I am also hopeful it is a new build with potentially updated parts. Fingers crossed!
  5. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Update on mine. Took it to the dealership a month or so ago because my replacement transmission from this fall began making the noise again after a few hundred miles. Dealer and I decided on another new transmission due to TSB parts being on back order and the TSB was not a proven fix (neither...
  6. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    True true. Parts for TSB are a couple months out and transmissions as a whole are only a couple weeks. Taking a chance, but I figured I really have nothing to lose but a little bit of time. Just going through anything and everything to get it fixed
  7. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    This will be my 2nd replacement, so 3rd transmission counting the factory one. We have no proof that the TSB works and no proof that a new transmission won’t work now that the TSB is out. I guess I’m running a little experiment. The hope is that new transmissions coming out now will already have...
  8. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Got news on mine today. Brought bronco in for TSB a few days ago. Dealership wants to replace my transmission again because they too are not super confident in the TSB, nor am I. I’m okay with it though as this keeps the transmission from being opened. Will probably top it off though with more...
  9. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I reached out to you nearly 3 months ago and was told a customer experience specialist would reach out to me and that I should get in touch with my dealer. Gotta case number and everything on October 25 from you. (Spoiler alert- never got contacted by a “customer experience specialist” or anyone...
  10. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Just dropped mine off this morning for 6 month service, transmission TSB, and a rear swing gate that pops and creaks every time I hit a bump. Transmission noise started at 400 miles. Transfer case was replaced- no change. Transmission was changed at 1600 miles-was quiet. Noise came back at 2000...
  11. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Same here. New transmission and same noise after about 400 miles. I get the cold temp rattle in neutral and the 1st-2nd gear rattle all the time regardless of temperature.
  12. Best State To Live and Off-Road?

    +1 for the Buffalo River Area. Awesome place to experience!
  13. Best State To Live and Off-Road?

    I might be biased because I was born and raised here, but crawling through old logging trails in the Ozarks of Arkansas is a real treat. Go in the spring for mud. Summer if you want to be social and hang out with all of the side by side folks. Fall for the amazing beauty and color. Winter for...
  14. MGV seats - likes or dislikes?

    I love mine! I worked nights this summer when it was hot so didn’t do much day time driving, but I could see how they could get toasty in the heat. I’m not a sweaty guy though so I’ve never had breathability issues. Best part about them is that they are super easy to clean. Like, EXTREMELY easy...
  15. Strange Grinding/scraping noise from 22 Badlands 7MT

    After a month wait, the dealership called and said Ford wants to do a sound probe test to pinpoint the issue on my replacement transmission that has started making noise. Back to square 1. I just wish Ford would acknowledge the issue and at least let us know they are working on a fix instead of...
  16. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Finally got ahold of my dealer after a month of waiting and they said Ford is giving them a run around again about the noise in my replacement transmission. They want to take the car for a drive with a few sound probes attached to pinpoint the noise. This is the same thing that happened on the...
  17. Strange Grinding/scraping noise from 22 Badlands 7MT

    I hope you’re kidding about not replacing the replacement transmission if it goes bad too. I had my transmission replaced 2 months ago and the sound is back but I’ve gotten radio silence from Ford and my dealer after telling them the new transmission was a dud a month ago. Spent way too much...
  18. Fluid Color Question

    Just a follow up for a good laugh to anyone who reads this. I figured out where the ATF came from. I was replacing wheel bearings in a buddy’s car this weekend. Noticed more ATF on the garage floor. Upon further inspection, it’s coming from my floor jack! It’s an old jack from the 80s that I...
  19. Fluid Color Question

    Weird question. What color is the factory MT fluid? I did work on my girlfriend’s Kia Soul tonight in the garage. Pulled it out of the garage and pulled my bronco back in. I noticed a couple puddles of red fluid (looks exactly like brand new ATF) on the garage floor after pulling the bronco back...
