Hi everyone,

I have a 2010 fg xr6t manual and I get this chattering noise at idle that disappears when I push the clutch in. It is intermittent and of course it will never do it at the dealership but I showed them this video and they said it was perfectly normal. I find it a bit hard to believe so I'm after some alternate opinions.

Thanks

It can be eliminated. The pre-load on the bearings needs to be increased, and it will quieten the trans

It could be your tensioner cause I have the same problem at the moment with my car.

Can that be done with a BA T5 box too?

You'd be suprised what can be done with a T5

Door stop

Boat anchor

Wheel chock

Yep, my FG manual sounds like Jimi Hendrix at idle. OED666, what exactly does preload mean and with insufficient preload, what is actually happening in there?

Is this something that ford should cover under warranty?

Got the very same thing.

I'd like to hear a new car, can bet it doesn't make that noise. If that's the case, surely it should be Ford's problem to fix?
