It's been about 8 months and 8,000 miles since I switched to this grease and I am happy with the results. I have occasional noticed slight creaking, but nothing like it was. I may re-apply more grease this summer, but plan to use this same grease.
If you want to try the easy method, just pull up the boot and spray some light lube on the parts you can see. I used T-9 because I had it around and it worked well. I am thinking of taking it back out and applying some thin grease directly on the contact surfaces someday.
I think the B&M has more positive feel to it and I like the taller shifter.
If you install it, do yourself a favor and lubricate both of the shafts with oil or grease. My shifter got kind of tight a few months after the install and I sprayed some lube on it which resolved the issue.
I also...
I just had my rear pinion seal replaced at 16,000 miles (mostly around town miles) on my 2024.
It seems like an odd failure. Perhaps mine was damaged during assembly.
Exactly. At low throttle you don't notice it, but when accelerating hard, you get a bump when you push the clutch in.
The next time you accelerate quickly, try waiting until you right foot is completely off the gas pedal before pushing in the clutch
You'll be surprised at how much better it...
Thanks for the reply.
I have the Steeda clutch spring and have been happy with the clutch pedal feel after the change. It's not a significant difference, but if you get stuck in traffic, your left foot will thank you.
Thanks for the replies. Your comments are confirming my thoughts that the tipout tuning was causing this behavior (and the need for me to change my shifting style).
I was primarily wondering if others had experienced it, but based on the response it seems that maybe my driving style has been a...
I've noticed that the Bronco requires significantly different clutch/accelerator pedal timing (for shifts) than any other manual transmission vehicle that I've driven
I have owned manual trans vehicles almost continuously since I started driving in 1979. My first car was a 1965 Falcon with a...
Did you perform the last step to adjust the shifter cables?
Mine had a feel similar to what you described even after adjusting the cables. I adjusted them again and it's fine now.
Be careful with those orange clips. They break easily (ask me how I know).
Also, the shifting got stiff on mine...
How did this work out for you?
Mine has been installed for a few months and the shifting requires considerable force. There's no way I could shift this with just my fingers. It has recently started to squeak during some shifts.
One other issue I had was reconnecting one of the shift cables to...
If you're talking about the Official Ford Bronco Off-Roadeo on Moab on October 2nd, it is still on.
You gave me quite a scare since I am booked for that same day.
I just called the program headquarters at
888-260-5744 and they assured me that it's still happening.
A quick update on my experience.
The creaking came back (after using the red grease).
I have since re-greased with this grease.
I also changed over to the Steeda spring.
I will try to remember to update this tread at a later date.
The spring is a nice improvement. I would say the pedal...
I completed mine in about 2.5 hours thanks to the advice above.
A few comments: have a small pick handy for pulling retaining clip loose in step 22. Then use needle nose pliers (as mentioned above). Also mentioned above, this clip isn't re-used.
For the white bearing cup removal (step 24)...
