Slight Clicking Sound On Acceleration And Shift

[ZelchXR6T]

Hi guys,

Ive been searching the driveline threads but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I'm basically new to this even though I joined a long tie ago (sold the old xr6t ages ago and just bought typhoon).

I own a 2007 BF2 typhoon with the ZF6 auto. It has 38,000kms and have had the ZF tune for approx 2000kms (325rwkw).

Just like most others, I have the same diff bush thud issues and alos experience the delayed downshift to 1st gear when going up driveway or rolling to a stop and accelerating just before I stop. These are annoying issues but I have adjusted my driving style to suit.

The issue I'd like to raise is an odd clink, almost light metalic type sound that is occasionally noticeable when moderately accelerating from a stationary position and sometimes heard when shift from 1st to 2nd gear is made.

Yesterday after giving the car a bit of a hard with a full car load taking some guys to a formal and doing a few o-100km/h high rpm shifts and a burnout in manual mode it was more prevalent.

Has anyone experienced this? I don't know what it is, there I no whining noises or anything like that. The guys at ESP performance said that the car was one of the best condition they've had in the shop and was very smooth and like new so I doubt I could have done any severe damage in 2000kms as I don't always drive it hard.

Cheers,

Zeljko

Mine does this from the drivers side, my last service ford said it was the axle. No other info lol.

Cheers, although that's an odd diagnosis... where's your's coming from, front or rear? Mine sounds like it's coming from the front half of the car. I said it sound like a metalic noise but now that I think of it, it's more like a clink similar to when you drag a cermaic tile or tap it against the ground.

I looked up a youtube video for clunking axle and it sounds nothing like what I can hear. The thing that worries me is that it's on take off and change from 1st to 2nd (although only occasionaly).

Rear. I'll know what it is when something breaks!

this is probly a dumb question, but are you guys sure your cars arent pinging?

Yeah, 100%. I was driving around last night and today and listening carefully and there's a click now most of the time when gears change. I don't recall hearing this before other than when I used to put it into reverse, once it engages gear. The other weird clinging noise has not reapeared since Friday night after driving it hard.

Hoping that this is just a normal weird ford noise. Bloody fords, always doing some weird sh*t to make you worry!
