  1. General Opinion: Manual Transmission (Update)

    I'm sorry you've never experienced or understood the joy of shifting gears. But they are most definitely not terms created by the marketing agencies to sell cars. If they were, then they would be offering many more vehicles with manual transmissions, instead of consumers wanting to save manual...
  2. General Opinion: Manual Transmission (Update)

    The dealer I took mine to Jan 16th still doesn't have the tools to replace my synchros. Either that, or they just never called me back over the last 2 months
  3. General Opinion: Manual Transmission (Update)

    Interesting, thanks for the suggestion I'll look into that. I'll probably wait until after the dealership gets around to replacing the 5th/6th gear synchros. But it has been over 6 months of waiting so far, so who knows when it actually will be. BD non sasquatch, so I have the 4.46:1. That is a...
  4. General Opinion: Manual Transmission (Update)

    It appears that most people have a difference of opinion from me, but the 7MT is the main thing that is keeping me from really liking my Bronco. It is weird to say, but I think I would enjoy mine better if it was an automatic. This is my 5th manual vehicle. I even took my '00 TJ and swapped it...
  5. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Bought my Bronco late Dec 2022, and noticed the noise day 2 after driving it home 200 miles. Confirmed by dealership Jan 16th with 600 miles on it. Almost 5.5 months later and I'm STILL waiting for the Bronco to go in for the replacement. Finally got a call that the parts came in 1 month ago...
  6. Fab Four Matrix Full Coverage vs ARB Summit Front Bumpers Help Needed...

    I love the ARB bull bars on other vehicles, I even had one on my old XJ for a while. It took me a while to realize what was so off about the new ARB summit bumper on the Bronco. The top of it sits above the bottom of the grill/fenders. You're right, it doesn't follow the lines, it seems like...
  7. HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club

    It's funny, I have both a '17 WRX and I got my 2 door manual Bronco in December. If I had to choose one to keep, it would not be the Bronco.
  8. 2021 Bronco left me stranded at Coachella Car Camping

    I've left multiple Jeeps in garages for 2+ years each without any fuel stabilizer or anything. None had any issues with any of the fuel system. They started up and drove fine when put into back into use. Fuel doesn't automatically go bad in vehicles. Small engines and boats I've definitely had...
  9. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I've been waiting on a roll pin and a few other parts since mid January
  10. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Mines only on the road and not stuck at a dealer because they've been waiting on parts for over 3 months, and have given me tons of crap about a loaner.
  11. IAG steps - not holding up well to the elements

    My full length steps just arrived today in the mail, so this thread has been very joyful to see. Hopefully the new coatings work well.
  12. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    I noticed the noise day 2 of vehicle ownership with 210 miles on the odometer. I have 2,200 miles on it now, dealership has been waiting for parts since Jan 16th. This weekend it was mid 80°F out, I didn't really hear the noise at idle, but I can definitely still hear it in 1st/2nd at low...
  13. Leakage of what looks like crusty white dried salt water

    I've been getting stuff like that at the inside top lip of my rear tailgate. Looks like a spot of dried salt.
  14. Major issue with my new Bronco's wheels / hub (wheel came off while driving)

    After reading this thread, I went out and retorqued all my lugs nuts. Had mine for 3.5 months, all of them moved when tightening to 100ft/lbs. Some just a smidge, some were 1/4 turn or more.
  15. LOUD Rotational Metal Scraping Noise @ Rear Passenger Wheel

    Yep, I have the scraping sound in my 7MT. A noise on the rear wheel is a little far away to be related though.
  16. LOUD Rotational Metal Scraping Noise @ Rear Passenger Wheel

    What does the transmission have to do with the right rear wheel making noise?
  17. Massachusetts Obx grille for sale

    Where in MA are you? I'm in Boston, I'm interested.
  18. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    To be fair, I contacted them and gave them the info and they did contact my dealership and opened a case with FoMoCo. FoMoCo contacted me, gave me some more information (like when the parts were expected, the service advisor told me they didn't have an ETA), and was helping discuss with the...
