Adrian G New Member 23 Member For: 6y 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, victoria Posted 31/12/18 04:25 PM Share Posted 31/12/18 04:25 PM (edited) I've had a look around and I can't seem to find any information that I'm after so I apologise if this has been covered before but I recently bought an manual FG XR6 turbo 2014 from a dealer and Ive noticed a loud thud/knock in the rear end when changing gears quickly from first to second. It sounds like the rear diff bushes that are worn but the dealership has told me that they have replaced all 3 bushes and that it is very common that the FG manual gearbox makes a thud when shifting quickly. This doesn't sound right to me and I was wondering if anyone else with a manual has experienced this.

Diff clunk is pretty common. I gotta admit though in my FPV FG F6 I haven't heard it (or maybe I've been conditioned ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian G New Member 23 Member For: 6y 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, victoria Posted 03/01/19 11:05 PM Author Share Posted 03/01/19 11:05 PM Lol unfortunately not... Thanks for the offer though. Does your car manual do it as well or not. Like I said it only happens when shifting first to second really quick. Ford dealership say they have had heaps of complaints but it is totally normal with the FG manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say that I have noticed the thud. However if you disengage the Go fast pedal first and then the clutch, you get that thud. Try and disengage both clutch and go fast pedal at the same time and you tend to reduce that thud. It is even more evident if the diff bushes have been swapped out from factory components to something like nolathane diff bushes, like the ones I have. Edited 05/01/19 02:32 AM by masda74 spelling.

The thud happens pretty much once it is in second gear and then the clutch has been released. So basically at the end. Of the cycle. I know all 3 diff bushes have been replaced (not sure what kind)Maybe that has something to with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
