Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Why wouldn’t you drive it? There hasn’t been any reported failures. Just a noise when cold.
Hmmm, I would have initially suspected a throw out bearing. If it's not that, then it's definitely coming from within the transmission as stated in a previous post. And since it occurs only when cold I would strongly suspect fluid viscosity.
It may not really be an issue if the noise goes away when warmed up. Although all the manuals made would need to make the same noise when cold. I would double check the fluid level as well just to be sure it is full. It might be already stated, I did not read through all of the pages.
I have had many manual transmissions in my time. I did have two defective ones- one in a 2005 Jeep Wrangler- it was replaced under warranty after a trip to 3 different dealers, where only one acknowledged it was defective. The other in a 1985 Ford F150, 4 speed with granny low. It spent a lot of the time at the dealer trying to find the issue. It was never resolved, I had to live with it.

I would suspect all these transmissions have this noise at one point or another, there have been many complaints on this noise only with a cold engine. Mine made the noise this morning with 39 degree temps. Noise was gone by the time I reached the top of my subdivision. I'm still going to say fluid viscosity, I may be wrong.
Anyone know of a tsb yet ? Has anyone tried swapping tranny fluid ?

How many miles are you at? Mine was this way initially when it started at 700 miles but now at 6700 it does it all the time.
I’m still waiting on my service appointment even though I know there is no real fix from ford at this point I at least want to reported. I really want to change the fluid but I want no excuses saying that somehow that is what did it.
mine started at 2800KM , weather got a bit colder out. we had some hot days and i noticed it still did it but only for a few seconds. i have noted that yesterday morning it did not do it on first start but later on in the day on my way home from work it did it and this morning was quiet start. seems like i am in the coming and going stage. been to the dealer they heard the sound and reported it so i have it on file. I am not going to touch anything and waiting for a TSB or a fix or something to break. I waited a long time for this Bronco and it has kinda soured me but see as i am not a lone and more and more people are voice up on this issue, I think ford will have a solution sooner than later.
Yep even after my 40 minute drive to work. It won’t do it idle at that point but going slow across the parking lot when I pull in you can still hear it. Originally when it first started you could only hear when temps were below 50 and it was the first drive of the morning plus at that point it would last until I was a mile from home.

Same issue with mine. Noise happens regardless of temperature and is really noticeable when slowing down in 1st or 2nd gear. Transmission was replaced at 1600 miles. Now at 2200 and the sound is back and as loud as ever. Dealer is working with Ford again for another fix. Beginning to think that these transmissions may not be super great...

22 BL with the MT as well at 1204 miles and I have exactly the same problem. I'll investigate more tomorrow morning.
Also, I just took delivery of this vehicle about 4 weeks ago.

Confirmed that the noise is there. Moving towards 6th gear makes the noise stop. Note: this is without touching the clutch at all. Just moving the shifter right and down just a bit and it's gone.
Also, fully depressing the clutch pedal makes the noise go away.

Other forum had someone say this:.
“oil separator check valve”
... And that it was serious and needs to be replaced.

Im currently scheduled for 11/14, been moved 3 times. But hope this is fixed before my build. 22’ Badlands manual.
