I have an 02' that I bought with 7 miles on it, and from day one, she still "clanks" when she wants....
I never thought it was a problem, and I had friends drive it and they thought it was normal...
I'm interested in this one...

Everytime I push the clutch in to do the 1-2 shift, it clanks. After the shift, I get on the gas and hear another clank...Time for louder exhaust I guess.

I'm up to 20,000 with my baby, and no problems yet... I do have the extended 6/60 or 7/75... or whatever...
I am also getting the ticking noise again when I let her idle... and just recently... Whjen i drive down the street for gas, and try to turn her on again after a quickie, she stutters, and hesitates to turn over....

I have 205 miles on the car and I'm starting to hear the TOB squeak at idle. It only happens when the car is in neutral with the clutch out. It sounds like worn out brake pads.

I have an 04 GT auto. I get a clank when I'm cruising around 40 mph and I stomp on the gas pedal. It's a clank, followed by downshifting out of overdrive, then exhilirating acceleration. When I'm not in overdrive, it doesn't do it. I don't know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about though. I have an auto.

I think there might be too much "play" in the rear end....
I don't think Ford sets up the rear end gears properly...

Just my .02
