Too much compression for that. You should be pulling up in 2nd and engaging 1st as soon as the vehicle has stopped. Unless it "bangs" into 1st whilst stationary. Then I take it back. I have some sort of light clunk at low speed between 1st and 2nd but that’s because of the huge tolerances of play that ford allow when putting these cars together. Nothing will fix that.

The funny thing is that everyone has had the diff bush replaced but issue still there.I had the same thing done on my car but still had drive train noises and clunk which I thought may have been the box but was actually coming from the rear.I took my car to a real suspension place and had the whole underneath inspected and can anyone guess what was causing the problems??? The whole diff cradle assembly area, not sure what its called but that whole thing was left loose from when FRAUD done the last diff bush change.The whole rear end was loose and moving around, it had thrown camber out, the toe was all wrong, the car was crabbing and alignment was out and most of all I was getting clunks and thuds from the rear. The whole rear end was tightened up and now the car drives like new and I have no more clunks or thuds at all.One word of advice is if you have just had some work carried out by FORD and your bum is telling you that something isn't right its prob because Ford has stuffed it.It might be worth taking the car to a suspension place as that fixed my problem and I can actually now enjoy my car..... that's my 2 cents....

Hazey Member 234 Member For: 21y 9m 11d Posted 03/05/10 09:19 PM Share Posted 03/05/10 09:19 PM Reading that is a absolute joke! It actually makes me quite mad as I have had the same problem with my old ba. I had diff work done and for thousands of km I drove with rear end clunks and crabbing. Ford could not fix. I then started servicing my car elsewhere where they said the cradle was not put back straight. When I get my new FG I will only ever be taking it to ford for warranty work and then I will have the work inspected at my mechanic. If they have to fix things I will get ford to foot the bill Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65582-clunk-in-driveline/page/4/#findComment-1004963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
