This car is going to be the death of me. When coasting toward a light in neutral, if i try to put the car into second or third with the clutch pedal fully depressed, the trans makes a horiffic grinding sound. Have had problems before, usually resolved, but never like this. The car has had new trans, a new shifter, new shift cables, ford's synthetic gearlube. Not sure what could be causing this. Only happens when easing the car into second or third from a roll with engine at idle speed. Any help would be loved, as dealer thinks i'm crazy and claims they can't replicate. This is the same dealer who when i complained of the cold shift problem parked the car in the garage overnight before taking it out for a test though. Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ted.
Ask the service writer or tech to ride with you and you show them. Then let them have a turn with you in the car.
