seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 15y 9m 3d Gender: Male Posted 15/03/09 11:38 PM Share Posted 15/03/09 11:38 PM Hi All,Just recently purchased a late 06 bf2 turbo manual C&V Tuned to 251rwkw with 40,000kms. All is standard except for the airbox and tune. Just some questions as I am new to Fords....1. At very low speeds, ie first gear take offs, the first 1-2k rpm there is a slight vibration that feels like the tailshaft, its is more noticable under heavy acceleration. Normal? 2. T56... great strong box, however it sounds like its full of marbles... now, im very picky, its a very quiet sound, you can only hear it at low speeds, no radio etc... I assume its normal? Any oil that will silence it?3. Rear suspension... Mine is on FPV 19" rims, and low speeds over rough surfaces, you can hear (again very quiet) suspension noises like something is floating around in the boot..almost sounds like the strut tops are stuffed but they're not, normal? I'm very picky... I hear things no one else can..4. Clutch.. Its the standard clutch, and it slips in 5th and 6th gears climbing hills at WOT only when the turbo overboost to 14psi and before it trails back to 10... That would be normal, and Im not worried, although I did notice that you have to be smooth on all changes or you will hear and feel it complaining though the gear box... normal?5. The worst thing!!! Different coloured bumpers, door handles, door strips to the sheet metal Its in Seduce... and looks great in any other light than full sun or fluro... Will Ford respray the panels as a warranty item?These are very minor things to what is a fantastic car, I am overly picky, and these things would probably not bother any normal human being. Any insight or help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the issues you have brought up are normal. A couple of things to keep in mind is the rear Diff bush is very prone to cracking in the Manual cars, especially in modded ones. The stock clutches are useless for anything more than stock power levels, try and prolong its life by changing back gears when accelerating, especially when going up hills.

I knew that answer would come MY father imparted in me a perfectionist approach to rattles, sqeaks, any noises.... I wish he didn't..I know the clutch wont last long at these levels, its such a cranky bugger... it seems to always fight with the gear box... I just have to take it easy until the minister for war and finance agrees... you see, she doesn't know that it slips, she doesnt know that its been tuned :D and as its so new, she doesn't understand why it would need a new clutch already :D I'll be in trouble!What would be the symptoms of a cracked diff bush?

Got mine fixed late last year plus an LSD shim and a couple of other goodies! It’s so tight now it may as well be a locker. It leaves lovely sets of black calling cards. The tail shaft noise could be the weights - they may need seeing too. Clutch and GB are normal problems. Flush and changing the oil might help out for a while. The solution to all of it, is turn the stereo up! I have never driven or even heard of a car that doesn't make little noises and creaks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the symptoms of a cracked diff bush?Likewise my old man passed on the same trait, although sometimes you just have to ignore it haha Diff bush being rooted usually results in loud clunking when cornering, slow speed manouvers and forward to reverse changes, extreme cases you can hear it outside the car, kinda like your towing a trailer with too much weights and its banging against the tow ball....

I'm used to it now, it doesn't bother me anymore. Also, I couldnt be bothered fighting with Ford over it.I still have the first issue. The diff bushes, the diff itself and a full tailshaft have been replaced and the problem is still there... still working on it.Issue 2. Fixed with Castrol Transmax ZIssue 3. Getting used to it, however, now am looking at new suspension anyway..Issue 4. Mal Wood option 3 soon sorted that.Issue 5. Got over it.Still loving the car, awesome machine.
