Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

[indio22]

Damn, insulted by the truth? What are you mad because im providing feed back on my repair? Are you the POST POLICE or something? Your opinion is estremely invaulable. Please contribute something.

I waited 2 1/2 years for this, I took a nice loss on a trade-in, I added accessories, underliner, bought hard and soft tops. Why should I take a loss on all those items, several thousand dollars because FORD built a pile of disappointments? Who wants to by a vehicle with transmissions issues, tell me please?



I am definitely not the only one. Read the previous 206 pages. That said i have been requesting a transmission for months including when it started grinding out on 1st and 2nd and was told NO. I have had to get in contact with FORD directly who is monitoring the satiation and looking deeper into it.

It bites to have this occurring with a brand new vehicle. Especially when the issue is not getting properly fixed. And unloading a vehicle that has an issue is not so simple. I would be commenting about it off and online as well, if I had this issue. It's unacceptable. And yes you are out likely money and aggravation.

I wasn't trying to discredit your frustration. My comment was meant more that you will never be happy with it at this point, and for good reason.

But life is too short to driving something that clearly causes you aggravation. You can sell the aftermarket stuff at a slight loss, fi the noise is barely noticeable at this point it won't be difficult to unload, take a small hit on the sale of the Bronco and find something that brings you joy.

It's like any kind of bad relationship that you stick with for longer then you should, once you finally peel the bandaid off you look back and wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

So the stealership called last Tues 5/9 to tell me the new transmission was set to arrive at the Ford warehouse on Fri 5/12. And from there, it's supposed to go to a Distribution Center to determine which tranny goes where, then off to shipping. Stealership calls 2 days later Thu 5/11, and says the new tranny has arrived!! Dropping the Bronco off on Monday for install....

UPDATE Brought the Bronco in first thing on 5/15 and picked it up the next day, end of day. The Ford Customer Careless Specialist said it was the new transmission. The Service Advisor Rep said it was the new transmission. The customer service invoice says MB3Z*7003*A. So far, no noise. Haven't noticed a difference in the feel of the clutch or the shifter; feels about the same. Bronco has 1850 miles on it. I haven't turned on the radio or the A/C yet bc I've been listening hard for any grinding, scraping, etc....nothing yet.

I would be happy if Ford would resolve the issue for me and everyone . By the time it's all said and done, by selling it my total loss won't be small. Forfeiting all tax savings I had in the trade, the roughly 4-5k hit on the new vehicle I traded, 1k for underliner I had installed and roughly another 1k in accessories. That quickly adds up to a 10k loss on something I thought I'd have for 10-15 years. The only way to get a fair value is to request a buyback and still take a loss. It's just not as simple as you are painting it. However there have been plenty of people that actually offered me advise or contacts to try, not attacked my situation so me complaining here got me those details

Install underway. He said he verified pn ends in -E. I know he doesn't wana have to do it again anymore than me, and I got another one to do after this one, so this should be a good test!

EDIT: Looks like it ships w/a new slave cyl...nice!

I am definitely not the only one. Read the previous 206 pages.

The updated parts have just recently have started going in vehicles, so the last 206 pages are worthless in comparison. Nobody else with the new updated parts (to my knowledge) has reported the noise returning. So there are only a few possibilities.

- Your transmission has some other issue/noise unrelated to this TSB
- Everyone else's transmission that has received the updated synchros or transmission will eventually start making the same noise (so far nothing, but time will tell)
- You don't actually have a problem, and whatever noise you're hearing is completely normal

Either way, if the dealership cannot duplicate the concern, there is nothing for them to fix. So it sounds like your options are very straight forward... Find a new dealer and get a second opinion, deal with it until it potentially gets worse (or doesn't) considering you still have plenty of powertrain warranty I'm sure, or sell it.

This one seemed pretty likely going back to his Blackrose days.

Short memory you have I guess? You commented on it. Haha

You’re right.. my mistake.

1 single other vehicle that we haven’t heard anything about since. Seems like compelling evidence. Don’t mind the other 8-10 that haven’t had any noise return.

100% agreed

They performed TSB 22-2371 noise completely gone, shift crisp. Nice. I gave a positive review. I was hopeful. It was better than when new. 1 week later. Faint noise coming back already after a 37* morning and the shift is getting clunky again. Yes I do. Believe ford making me drive it caused more damage but the more damage is happening intermittently and I can't just recreate it on demand. As for the scraping that noise is exactly the same sound prior to repair. Difference is it's more like it was when this forum had 10 pages no 206. Add another 200 and I can promise it's going to just slowly get louder with every cold start. Same issues as everyone and then some. I am non-binary and comparing me to a male is not appropriate

Wanna meet up and drive mine? Happy to let you compare. Not sure where you're located? This isn't in my head. I'm just providing honest feedback and you're basically calling my a liar?

just sell it and be done blackrose. We enjoy our rides and just want them fixed. You are not happy so do something about it and stop bitching.

 

[CPL_Rabbit]

Are we really going to swirl this toilet again where people need the last word? It's worth knowing if an updated trans/ring has the issue return. It's also understandable that this happening would cause some pretty intense frustration.

Nah, I'm good. I've got plenty of vehicles to fix already.
Also I never called you a liar. I'm just realistically stating the obvious facts here.
Regardless, the options I previously mentioned are still your best bet.
Good luck.
