When I first posted this the can was on jack stands for some other repairs and I was going on my memory to describe the noisy. I got it back on the road and can give a better description of the sound.
1) Does it only when accelerating between 1500 and 1800 RPM in all gears but 1st.
2) when I first take off in first(from a rolling start, I think--need to check one this one).
3)SOMEONE try this--5th gear and 35mph at a steady pace and then start to accelerate at WOT. Mine is soooo loud. As it pulls from 1500 to almost 2000 rpm I get the awful noise. If I had someone with me in the car I could get away with telling them it was lose exhaust pipe/clamp rattling around.
Car shifts fine and clutch is not slipping. The clutch sometimes grabs a little in first but nothing to bad. Still think its gear roll over?? My truck had/has gear roll
over and it does sound a little like that but the Tour is WAY loader and in a much broader RMP range.
