  1. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I hear you loud and clear, (a metaphor) your complaint not the sound its making. I do not want to downplay what you are going through, or the many others experiencing this issue. I can understand your loss of confidence in FORD, they certainty are aware of this. What I find odd is, they...
  2. Post your Bronco's garage mates!

    Curious, that's a pretty low ceiling for a two post. How does this work out?
  3. stick on a license plate with magnets?

    I like the idea, I'll give it a try. Just need to strategically place them where they will be most effective. Epoxy two or four 3/4" rare earth magnets to the back of the plate. Then stick it on the bumper metal surface. Rare earth magnets are incredibly strong, making it difficult to pull of...
  4. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    If mine develops the noise, this is the very reason I will not leave my Bronco at the dealer. To sit in their lot waiting for parts is insane. I'll drive it into the ground until they get the parts for it.
  5. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    I agree with your train of thought, the more documented cases, the bigger the problem for Ford. If I develop this issue I will bring it the dealers attention, just will not leave it with them. I have other vehicles to drive, but that's not what I would want to do. If it was a safety issue I...
  6. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    It's a shame they convinced you to leave it with them. All its going to do is sit in their lot until they get word from Ford. Now you are driving a POS for what? Its new, it has a warranty so drive it, if its broke its broke. I do agree, one would want to know whats going on. I do not have a...
  7. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    I agree, this trans does shift amazingly well. Being from the Gertag family the MTI550 should be stout. I have the GT350R and I'm totally impressed how well the Tremec TR3160 is, best manual I've ever experienced. Compared to the standard Mustangs MT82. With all the problems Ford had with the...
  8. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    I do have the sound deadener, my wife even commented on the wind noise. My son suggested I take off the top to be sure it is seated properly. I plan on doing that and applying some Gummie-Pflege to the seals - https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-parts/bmw-bmw-gummi-pflege-rubber-care-83192449390 -...
  9. Manual Transmission Noise Poll

    That's a bummer, sorry to hear you have this. I picked mine up on Saturday, so far 200+ miles and, dare I say, no noise. I do have a lot of wind noise, when on a phone call everyone comments on that awful wind noise. Sorry to hear you are having this problem, I picked up my Badlands Sasquatch...

    This is good advice for all with this problem, heed the warning people.
  11. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Thank You for the encouragement, any help would be appreciated. I look forward to an update. The one thing my dealer did say is now that the sale is closed, Ford said they will provide him more info. I find that a bit odd, as if Ford is holding back info from him until the deal is finalized...
  12. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I'm about to start the PP Nightmare. My dealer has not dug up any useful information from Ford on when this will be received. That pisses me off more than the trans issue right now, $3200 on the table. But, I suppose that's another thread. I do not blame the dealer for anything, up to this point...
  13. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Thank You Sir. I'm not accepting the thought of spending that kind of extra cash, just prepared to do so. I would not want to see anyone have to put up with this issue, it's on Ford, its just the amount of confidence I have in them to not give up., to not look the other way. I suppose I trust...
  14. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    If I was not confident, I would not plan on writing a $62k check today and pick up the Bronco I've been waiting for for 2 years. Maybe the smarter move would be to finance through Ford Credit with nothing down, instead of cash, then if this problem rears its ugly head and Ford offers no fix...
  15. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Thank You for this link, will reach out tomorrow. May need to wait until I pick it up Saturday though? Let's all be positive on these issues, we bought the Bronco because it's a cool vehicle, I hate seeing so many disappointed. Give Ford the benefit of doubt, they surly did not build these...
  16. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I do plan on getting the same 100k warranty, not just for the reasons others are having problems with but electronic gremlins as well. The more issues that people are piling on I hope Ford is watching this thread. I realize many will have various issues, its hard to believe Ford will not make...
  17. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Understood, not living with it (dare I say) yet, I'm simply trying to help all of us and Ford figure this out. Ford has a lot of smart engineers, I have confidence in them figuring it out, after all I'm spending $60k on something that is brought to my attention before I spend the money. I've...
  18. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Indio 22 / WeirdGuy / I3lackRose /Trick Dick All good thoughts, I paid 60k for mine, waited 2 years, do I want to deal with a trans problem, certainly not. I can understand being concerned, one thing I will not do is panic or worry, following the leader is not my style, worrying does not change...
  19. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    My MY '23 Manual Badlands w Sasquatch just arrived at the dealer. I will pick it up Saturday. I mentioned the TSB to the sales consultant, will talk to the service staff when I pick it up. It's a small dealership, first MT Bronco they have sold, I'm sure the service staff is unaware of the...

    Curious, did the service ticket explain what he did?
