Im pretty lazy on launching mine and still notice that theres not much strength to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endangered Member 4 Member For: 15y 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 03/06/10 12:40 PM Share Posted 03/06/10 12:40 PM Sorry to steal you thred Shananp, although I have a clunking tailshaft in my FG manual, sounds grizzly, but only seems to be in first gear. Sounds like metal on metal but the Ford stealership are saying that its fine. Doesn't sound fine to me.... Anyone had problems with the Manual driveline? I bought a manual this time round, mainly because I thought it would be easier to replace clutch plates than having the whole box refreshed as with my old BA, and the fact that I missed a manual......
