:( Is any one else experiencing clunks and thumps in their auto drive line under normal driving? There is much info on manuals but from my experience the problem might be the diff and prop-shaft. Sometimes feels like there is something heavy in the boot moving around (I checked, there isn't!) and that the back end is having difficulty keeping up with the transmission (too much play/backlash). Don't seem to experience it when in the manual mode, except for the 2nd to 1st downshift at low speed, where there is often a quite severe thump/clunk- anyone else experience this? Not sure if the problems are related. Ive got nothing to compare against (except the odd awfull taxi ride) as Ive never had a Ford before and my last RWD auto was a 1974 Triumph Stag (BW35), circa late 80's - feels like nothings improved in this dept! It's driving me nuts and (since getting the brakes sorted) ruining the experience.
