Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

[Stlrfan152]

Same for me. 10 weeks Monday.

Though I heard on Thursday the parts had just come in. So my watch has nearly ended

Did you find out if all your parts are in yet?

Just finished up another call with my dealer. -D rev synchros are now on order and it’ll be another month of waiting before they arrive. No sweat, procrastination pays off this time since the initial ordered parts contain the original -C rev.

The sad thing is everyone who proactively jumped onto the TSB and threw the new original -C synchro in will need this repair done again… atleast I would assume.

Good Job Ford.

Im starting to come to terms with the fact i bought a ford explorer by mistake and not a bronco. By the time this fix is over ill have spent more time in the rental.

That is going to be me likely

No because I cant get the service advisor to call me back, if they were all in I assume that they would be done by now

OP hasn't posted anything on the forum in almost a year. I wonder if he still has the Bronco.

Legend has it....he traded his Bronco in for a Chevy Trailblazer.

Would some folks mind sharing the process of how a dealer diagnosed the problem and started the TSB process (bonus points if it's a 2023 since only 2021/22 are listed on the Dec TSB)?

So far, I have taken it to a dealer, told they cannot replicate after they have it 2 days, picked it up, I hear it in their lot when I'm leaving to go home, go back in and have a service advisor listen/video sound, take it back a week later to the dealership for a tech to hear it while I drive in the parking lot, and now the service advisor wants it back for 1 to 3 days to "continue with the diagnosis." Feels like it might be easier to just take it to another dealer and try my luck with a different service advisor. Maybe this is normal, but I don't know what more diagnoses can be done short of opening the transmission (which I'd rather start when the parts are at the dealership shop). It's my daily driver, so it's hard to have it sit in a parking lot at a dealership being "diagnosed."

Thanks in advance to any that can share their experience.

Your’s is certainly an odd case. All I had to do was mention the tsb over the phone and they ordered the parts without hesitation.

Had my Bronco a couple months. 2000 miles. I have the 2.3 manual in my Badlands. When I start it up in the morning I hear what sounds like a grinding, somethings loose kind of noise. When I push the clutch in it seems to go away. It also seems to go away after it has been driven a while. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it normal? I have an appointment to bring the truck in tomorrow 1/12/22. I will let everyone know how I make out. Anyone else experiencing this?

UPDATE Well not really what I wanted to hear or satisfied with the explanation I got. Service manager said it could possibly be the throw out bearing. As the invoice states they have a call into Ford. They will call me when they hear from them. I picked up the truck as they said it was fine to drive. They also said it may be a break-in thing, which I know is not the case. It drives fine, shifts easy and clutch is easy to operate. Besides the noise no issues. I have to say until I hear from them again I’m hesitant to drive it. Luckily I’ll be out of town for a few days. Hopefully I’ll hear back before I get home.

Same issue, lets see where this goes

Hopefully it works out well. 16k on the new transmission since then and no issues and no noise!

When did they install your transmission? I thought the dealer said possibly throw out bearing in Jan?

My bad, didn't realize that was last year, lol! Sad thing is you got lucky. Some have had builds as recent as this Feb with the same issue.

So they had my truck last year

So I started this thread back in early Feb 2022. My truck went in and was there for 6 weeks. They ended up replacing my transmission in early March and got my Bronco back March 14 2022. Since then it runs perfect, no issues or noise. Not sure why they are having the same issues still as people are experiencing the same problem.

I started this thread back in Jan 2022. If you go back to the first page I do chronicle what happened to me and posted some service forms detailing what my dealer diagnosed and did. Long story short they replaced my entire transmission. Truck was in the shop 6 weeks. Any help I can add let me know.

Just dropped my '22 Base off at the dealer. Had the TSB paper work in hand when dropping it off (thanks all for that!)

Service advisor said he and the techs are familiar, and had already done a couple of them. So fingers crossed they call me this week and tell me they are going to order parts. They also said that before the TSB came out they had done a couple of full tranny replacements.

Question for those who are waiting on the TSB work. Are you guys driving your bronco in the mean time? Letting it sit at the dealer? Get a loaner? Just trying to be prepared for when I get the call.

I initially took mine in mid-January for an overnight stay. They confirmed the issue the next morning and ordered the parts. I drove it home and have been driving it daily since then. Parts came in... just waiting for the replacement/updated part to come in (see a few pages back). Should be in by the end of the month.

He speaks! And still has the bronco

Hopefully it works out well. 16k on the new transmission since then and no issues and no noise!
