They offered for me to take it or do a loaner. They are looking into what loaners they have and I'm waiting to hear back.

So from what im gathering we should just all tell our dealers to break the mount on the transmission and we will get a new one thrown in right away vs waiting months for a TSB that has no available parts or confirmation if it'll permanently fix the issue. Why even issue the TSB if you aint ready to perform it on 75% of the 7MTs?

Get it on video next time you hear it so you can prove it and have documentation. Drive it slow in 1st and second. like 5-10MPH .... Do you hear the noise then? I've noticed when warmer the warmup noise goes away but that initial couple minutes of driving, coasting in gear so forth and the noise is still there and can be heard at slow speeds. sounds like dragging something/scrapping.
Well a new transmission isn’t “fixing” the noise either, comes back within a few hundred miles from what multiple posters have said.

I did recorded the sound the first morning I heard it, the recording is inside the truck and under it.
I drove slowly and still heard it, it gets hard to hear with increased road / engine noise but the sound is still there. Once I got into 3rd I could not hear it but that was likely die to increased road / engine noise. Unfortunately playback of the video clip does not really isolate the evil noise very well

That's correct for the most part. I do believe I read of at least one person though that it did work on however most seem to report it coming back quickly. I'm just being a smarta$$. At least something would be getting done

I’m not the person who got the replacement, I have just heard enough stories that I know it is exceedingly likely the noise will return. Not if, but when.

Good job on the recording. That's exactly how mine sounds. It does not go away when dropping over into 6th position.
Got my truck back from the service department today — confirmed the scraping noise, and ordered parts for the TSB. My service advisor implied the parts were *not* on back order though, interestingly enough… will share the full part sheet once I get it.
