alexp999 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 While moving could be normal, just due to the synchro and torque blockers. Shouldn't really do it when stationary though. Is yours mapped at all? Almost sounds like a bad synchro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah mate not at all, bought it 3 weeks ago and I've been in contact with the previous owner, never been mapped like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 All the Fords I have driven so far have brilliant gearboxes on them, dead easy to slip in and out of gears when stationary and moving, especially compared to my families Toyota and Peugeot (its a work van ok :)). For a car only 3 years old, the syncro's shouldn't have worn that much. Sounds like a box problem to me. Goes without saying, don't take what we say on here as gospel. Remember we haven't seen the car or tried it for ourselves, so don't go to the wreckers tomorrow and buy a new gearbox haha. Take it to a mechanic if it seems a real problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
