90GT Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 For those of you who own a 5spd man GT, does your car make a klunking sound from the rear when shifting??? My car does this on occasion and it's rather friggen annoying!!! It doesn't make any noise when going over a bump, only when I'm shifting and mostly on upshifts. I've had it to the dealer and they said it's due to the two piece drive shaft and is normal. I'm going to take it to Fred and the boys at Evo and see what they say. I may just swap the two piece drive shaft out for a single if I know for certain that it would cure the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakepilot Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I kinda have the same thing. Doesn't do it all the time. It is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid good money for this car and while I don't expect it to be perfect, this is unacceptable. I'll find out what it is and have it fixed myself if I need to.

kaylan1521 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 If you guys have a 3650 tranny there was a TSB out a year or two ago replacing the internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is an 07 so one would hope Ford would have fixed that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 No problems here. Sometimes, when I leave the house, the 1-2 shift clunks a little - but through the shifter, not the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'd live with the clunk. Driveshafts aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90GT Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I think it's the two piece drive shaft. I've had the car looked at by the dealer and they said every thing is fine. Even went over the suspension with all the mods I've done which I thought was pretty cool. :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Tech said it's just the downfall of having the drive shaft the way Ford designed it. I'll let Fred and the boys at Evo check her out and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungsten07conv Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have a V6 with a 5 speed that clunks when shifting. It is annoying to have a new car that sounds like it does. Maybe it is the two piece drive shaft design that is responsible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let Fred and the boys at Evo check her out and see what they say. Was there a driveline change for 07? I got the same feedback from my Ford dealership. I have an 07 5spd GT. In short, I was told that the noise is 100% normal, especially for 5spd GT's. The noise would not be noticeable in an automatic due to the setup. The noise would range in 5spd GT's based on how the part tolerances stack up. We then jumped into a new 5spd Mustang (13 miles) and took it for a drive. I noticed the clunk a little bit at low RPMs between 1st and 2nd, especially when turning corners. Oh, I almost forgot. The dealership's suggestion was to drive it more aggressively...coming out of gears above 3300 rpms. I still battle with the driveline clunk issue but at least some of you see the "100% normal" problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Shift it above 3300 You say "dealer." Do you mean Tech or Salesmen? Oh - welcome to the site!! :happy feet: How about a pic of your car? Ruf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never made it to Evo today, have to try to get it there mid week. I don't think it's the suspension because it only makes the noise when shifting not when going over bumps.
