Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

[Herbie]

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 is the replacement trans, so take that how you will). New transmission came in and I dropped the bronco off today for replacement. This will be my second replacement- third transmission total including original transmission. I’m not super hopeful that it will fix the noise, but we’ll see. I’ll update everyone when I get it back and drive it a few hundred miles. One can always hope right?

Continuously replacing Tranny's isn't a "proven fix" either as you have proven. Why wouldn't you just wait until there is one rather than continuously dropping off your vehicle and having to be without it? Are you having performance issues in addition? Just curious about the logic.

I'm re-confirming in another part of the country, but looks like if they take apart your transmission, and you have a cracked plastic spacer ring, MU7Z*7C419* it has an official backorder date of May 15th.

I will update with post when i re-confirm.

My bronco has been waiting on this part since Jan 10, as my Bronco has been there since Jan 4...

Just to clarify, this part is not included or normally replaced during the TSB.
I know you already know this, I just wanted to be sure everyone else understood this.

It just unfortunately ended up being damage in your transmission in addition to the normal TSB parts.

Check my post out, part is MU7Z-7107 D

Great news. A lot of hand wringing for nothing, looks like they're coming through in the end

Are you seeing a new part number for the entire transmission? Should be able to check the tag to see if it has the updated parts. Might be too new of an update though.

I see that the price has dropped if someone wanted to play around with one. Was about $4,000, now showing just shy of $1,800.

That's a heck of a deal for a new transmission. Almost makes me want to keep one on the shelf. What's the part number on the assembly?

That's just awful, sorry man. You can see why I'm not going to let them touch it until this settles down or I have a complete failure.

Thanks, I see it now. The parts catalog apparently hasn’t been updated yet. I had to look elsewhere.

Good to know they finally updated the part.
Let’s hope it fixes these concerns!

Update for my TSB fix next week... The service guy just confirmed that they have the 'C' part so I won't be taking it in next week. The 'D' part should be in by the end of the month.

Thanks guys! That probably saved me from not having my Bronco for 3 weeks while the transmission was torn apart waiting for the revised part.

Here is a link but this one shows #7003. Also says backordered. Might just be a pricing glitch before the updated ones make it to the website. A week or so back it showed a few bucks under $4,000 for the same part. I'm assuming it will get a new Rev or part number being something internal has changed so they can keep track.

So the full part number must be MB3Z-7003-A. Are they perhaps blowing them out to make way for MB3Z-7003-B?

Just under $1500 here:

Weird the actual Ford site does not have the full part number. I would guess that the "A" is the original version though.

I don’t think it’s a glitch. The Ford parts catalog shows the same pricing.

$1,766.67 retail
$1,325 dealer cost
$600 core.

Would it have dropped that much from $4,000 a week or so ago? Seems really odd.

Do you think the core charge is likely to ever go away?

I'm honestly not sure. I never really deal with parts/parts pricing.

No, I highly doubt that would ever go away.

Have to see if the pricing changes. I thought maybe I had made a mistake but there is still one on Ebay for about $3,932 which I had remembered was just under the cost of a new one a week or so ago.

Are any of the part numbers within the revision D different than C?
