Keep in mind the FG comes with the TR6060 which replaced the t56. So from factory it comes with a shorter gear stick and smoother shifting

:innocent: Yup Yup very true Mate .... my bad ! .... even still the rattle noise isnt even that bad !

I have just last week picked up my very low Km late 2009 FG turbo ute. I have waited a long time(since BA turbo first released) to get my hands on one. I drove a lot of cars/utes before buying, really enjoyed the 6 speed autos, they are an excellent box but in the end I just couldn't go past a manual for shear enjoyment and driver involvement. They kind of are a performance car, not a shopping trolley/town car. And yes the clunking from the back end can get annoying, but only on light throttle mainly 1st and 2nd gear, my wife tends to notice a lot more with her driving style, she loves the car though which made it a lot easier to make the purchase.

not a fan of the 6spd autos.. got one in the ute, tends to rev hang and stuff like that... and the torque tags... FFUUUU... cant stand them.

manual, great fun, saying that, if you are doing a heap of track work/drags ... it might pay to swap out the stock clutch with an aftermarket item.

and the synchros in 2nd are weak
