thewheelman Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Bought my 07 new in Aug. 08--warranty started then. Almost immediately I noticed a "scrunch" going into second and the clutch chattered something awful! Had TSB done within first 8000 miles. Still chattered and jerked. Now I have just a few over 30k on the odometer and the "scrunch" is back. Also noticed a couple of time when shifting at high rpm, especially from 3rd to 4th, the clutch didn't seem to take right back up and kind of eased back in. I have Ford ESP on the car and, honestly, I don't really romp on it hard very often...... How to I approach this with the dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncho Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I would approach them with the latest TSB in mind & communicate convencingly it's a flywheel issue. This way any issues that they encounter can be pointed to as the flywheel causing the problems with the clutch. There have been subsequent TSB's that use newer and improved parts. Long shot but it's the one I would take. Good Luck! Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmoke Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'd also suggest printing out the latest TSB (4th revision), and taking it with you. Some dealerships don't even know about this and might blow you off or blame it on the clutch instead of the flywheel, giving you problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 You should also take a look at my thread in the clutch forum titled" "if you have to pay for it yourself". It is under 1,500 bucks parts and labor. And your ESP will not cover it. Read your book and you will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
