LTSBGY Member 259 Member For: 19y 3m 3d Posted 29/01/07 09:59 AM Share Posted 29/01/07 09:59 AM Just want to know if this is only happening to me. In 3rd and 4th gear at high rpm lets say over 4, 4500 rpm the box starts to sound like the gears are grinding inside and wen u hold your hand on the gearstick it feels like a jack hamer. The car is stock and the box is new with only 1000ks. The previous box did the same thing aswell and that's part of the reason it was changed.Nesh Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32173-question-for-the-t5-owners/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSBGY Member 259 Member For: 19y 3m 3d Posted 29/01/07 10:10 AM Author Share Posted 29/01/07 10:10 AM it was just changed because of that and some other noise and the new box still does the vibrating. How can a new box be that bad. Could it be something else which causes it to vibrate like clutch or something, im not sure so dont laugh at my stupid questions.Nesh Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32173-question-for-the-t5-owners/#findComment-491468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSBGY Member 259 Member For: 19y 3m 3d Posted 29/01/07 10:16 AM Author Share Posted 29/01/07 10:16 AM I know how it is had to be driven 3 different times to get aproved. Everything is normal with these boxes just so they dont have to get replaced.The funniest thing of all is that one of the ford blokes showed me on the computer how much a new 5 speed is, which is $5500 and a 6 speed $4500. Not axact figures but the 5 speed was in the 5k mark and 6 speed in 4k mark and was about 1k diff. How is the crapier box more expensive?Nesh Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32173-question-for-the-t5-owners/#findComment-491477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
