Just frustrating to hear it.. I'm glad there's no massive mechanical issue..

I am taking it to another Ford dealer later this week (my brother in law is mates with the service manager there) and I'll get his opinion. But by the responses I've been getting it sounds normal.

I am pretty sure that they are going to say it is normal.I have an FG manual and I have the same thing.If you don't like the noise, then don't change your diff bushes to something like the nolathane bushes as it gets even worse.

I'm in western Sydney (Parramatta area)Taking it to Thompson Ford late this weekI have heard that aftermarket bushes and flywheel make the sound less noticable. I almost bought the nolathane bushes yesterday!!

I am in Perth and the reason I asked where you were, was to meet up and you could see the difference in sound.Good luck and I hope it is the normal clunks from the manual FGs.
