Robert21 Member 15 Member For: 10y 6m 5d Posted 01/05/14 12:01 PM Share Posted 01/05/14 12:01 PM Hey Guys!I have just bought myself an 09 XR6T Manual and I am quite new to Fords so I was hoping to get a little bit of advice!After driving the car for a week or so I have noticed that when the clutch engages there's an awful clunking noise that accompanies it. (which I didint hear when I took it for a test drive) This is happening even when I am not moving, if the car is running and I pump the clutch in an out whilst in neutral it clunks on the way out just after where friction point would be but this does not happen when the car is off.I have searched the forum and haven't found a post resembling my issue and I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this before?Any help would be appreciated!Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also makes the noise wnen suddenly coming off the loud pedal- actually feels like the chassis is rocking back and forth on the driveline.Sound deadening for audio purposes has reduced a lot if the clunks...

Well I'll try the sound deadening and see if that makes me feel any better otherwise I'm going to take it bak to Ford and see if they can do anythingDo you know why it makes that sound? Is it a clutch or gearbox noise specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
