Hi all

I recently purchased an FG F6 and I must say absolutely awesome car!

But I have a couple issues.

The clutch seems fine, but it makes a rattling noise when disengaging first gear, when the cars in neutral and tunning the engine off.

I also get a lot of axel tramp when braking traction, on the passenger side.

Ford says the rattling clutch is normal, because of the design and the axel tramp is also normal.

That may be the case with the clutch, but I thought Ford would have sorted out the axel tramp out by now.

Any of you guys having the same issues?

I've got a BF and know what that's like! Changed from 20's to 18's again and the problem was solved.

So going along with what djkice said, maybe a suspension/wheel upgrade/change is needed to solve your problem?

As for the clutch, if its only 1st gear then I wouldn't get too up in arms about it. Better yet, dont use 1st gear :P

I had the rattle issue with old clutch, and new aftermarket clutch.

suspension helps, but yeh, still get epic axle tramp.

hope this embed video works .... despite 18s and coilovers, I still get bad tramp, you can see the car bouncing up and down when I launch. hahahahah

:huh:

I hope I don't ever tramp again.....

That video gives me bad memories of my car.

But yeah since I got rims/sticky tyres/springs it seems to be gone. Although Tocchi has :bowdown: suspension setup and rims/tyres so :hiwelcome:

Unless my heavy stereo gear hold my rear end down more or the extra power from mods... :3gears:
