I can hear it on yours. The engine idle drowns it out a little but i can hear it. Sorry but welcome to the club. Most of us are looking at the Feb-March Time frames for first TSB to be performed. Confidences is weary that it'll solve or prevent it from happening again.
Is it the kind of uneven lower register knocking sound in the background, or the steady sort of whine more in the foreground? Maybe I'm hard of hearing or just use to older noisy 4x4s, but I've had trouble picking out the offending sound from the various recordings.
Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.
Check my video on the 1st post in this thread. I feel it's pretty noticable compared to other submissions. It's a scrapping dragging sound, almost sound like bubbles in a pump. Not steady sound but variable yet constant during warm up and higher revving. When I go to under the vehicle near trans in that video it's very noticable.
And to add, I have a feeling a lot of owners haven't caught it yet but I don't think it's all 7MTs. There is definitely a large number of us. Roughly 200 here alone.
Its a bot but monitored by a team. I replied to them. This was the result. They called me, the person on the other end seemed like it was day 1 on the job. could not communicate well and seemed really unknowledgeable. They reached out to my dealer after hours which they were closed. A few days later they attempted again and then reached out to me via email. Told me my dealer closed the repair order and i would have to take my vehicle back to them to get the ticket reopened. I talked to my dealer and they said this was not true that the repair is still in the system and I don't have to go back in. That we are just waiting on the last part to arrive for the TSB, which is apparently is clip of sorts? so the FoMoCo is pretty much zero help and created more headache for me chasing down inaccurate info.
IF these bot posts are just that - maybe the mods could step in and either block them
Reported TSB ineffective (More detail required)2nd Confirmed TSB Failure
Over 175 now haha.... So not just a couple
File NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint/Concern
Had a side convo with another user. Good point brought up. If enough of us file safety complaint with NHTSA this would help hold FORD accountable to fix the issue. In previous MT model mishaps FORD simply walked away from the issue, stuck consumers with bad transmissions and then stopped producing them. I personally dem it as a safety concern in time and we can all argue that regardless if we currently don't experience perfomrance issues. Who wants to be on a 75mph freeway get locked out of their gears, putting anyone in the vehicle in harms way should you get stranded in the center of the freeway?
I will file today and adding this to main page.
SIDE CONVO
believe it would be a good idea for those that actually have the issue to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The noise may not be safety related now but could potentially turn into one later. I held off saying anything but then came across this article about the Mustang. Supposedly Getrag redesigned the Bronco transmission (MT88) taking into account the Mustang issues. After reading this though, it becomes painfully clear there will most likely be no fix so more documentation would be good to have.
First what they claim to have improved.
Getrag builds the all new 7-speed, which Ford calls the MT88. The good news is that it is a new design and not based on the Getrag MT82 six-speed that comes in the Mustang. Shifting has been improved over the six-speed by moving more of the driven gears to the input shaft rather than the output shaft, which reduces the synchronized mass during shifts.
Then about the Mustang issues.
