Layton Member 31 Member For: 16y 12d Gender: Male Posted 16/05/11 11:39 AM Share Posted 16/05/11 11:39 AM So I start the ute in the morning, let it idle for 30 seconds or a minute and slowly cruise off to work.When it changes to second gear (6 speed auto) it makes a little thud, like it's in the cat.Then one morning I pop it into sports mode and hold 1st gear and it does the same thud click thing that sounds and kinda feels like it is in the cat.The warmer the ute is, the less noticeable the thud/click noise is. Just wondering what it could be???Otherwise, I had the climate control fixed when it was a couple months old (Ford fixed it in the March 2010 models, mines a Feb '10 haha). Fitted the lower airbox off an XR8, it comes on boost a tiny bit earlier, sounds a tiny bit nicer, and goes a tiny bit better I know I haven't been on in forever, sorry if this is in the wrong section and already been asked.CheersLayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyHaggard Member 26 Member For: 13y 9m 12d Gender: Male Posted 17/05/11 03:53 AM Share Posted 17/05/11 03:53 AM Does it only make the thud noise once after starting the car and driving? I remember reading somewhere that FG's make a small thud noise and it was something engaging in the driveline or something... I just cant remember the details plus I'm at work so dont have the time to look it up.Mine makes a small thud noise that happens about 10 meters out of the driveway, so probably in line with the first change to 2nd. But I think I am just used to it and dont notice anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what TotallyHaggard is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layton Member 31 Member For: 16y 12d Gender: Male Posted 17/05/11 11:09 AM Author Share Posted 17/05/11 11:09 AM But the warmer the engine is, the quieter the noise is. And it's not in the driveline, it's coming from the cat or maybe in front of it...So it's not unheard of and some of yours make the same noise?
