Maybe they have thought about this, updated transmissions will not have the issue and people with older 1st gen transmission will get the fix. Will see how this goes, as long as is a permanent fix then I don’t mind.
*UPDATE*
I got a call from the head of Techs at my Ford dealership telling me that Ford sent them a TSB for 5th and 6th synchro gear rings on the 7MT. The TSB describes all the symptoms that we all have been having: grinding noise on first and second gear when driving, grinding noise while the...
Copy that, thanks. Yeah I’m really curious on reading what they said, so many of us have this same problem with barely any answers.. it’s a little frustrating.
let us know how she drives Hopefully it fixes that noise and you don’t have to worry about it again.
How many miles did you drive before you took it in for a check? How long did they take?
From what i was reading yesterday it might be an Input shaft bearing since it that's the main bearing in rotation when the vehicle is stationary, on neutral and with the clutch engaged. The transmission will have to be either overhauled or replaced to see if that's the problem. I talked to Ford...
Maybe so, I'm still breaking mine in too (currently 290 miles). I have also noticed that as well, if i shift down to second or third i can hear it a little bit. I just want to make sure that i don't have any shavings in transmission fluid... but yeah. Nevertheless, it's the same thing with my...
i see, thanks for the reply. Something im concerned about is if they are using good transmission fluid. I really dont want to void the warranty on the power train, but ive been so tempted on changing it

will do soon. Im going to drop my Bronco off at Ford on Monday and leave it there over night since they want to recreate the noise on a cold start. Ill make sure to let them know about the transmission fluid level and its condition. Will keep you all update it.
