Shifting noise, you guys got any ideas/suggestions???
I have a 360R with 17,000 miles on it. It has just started to "grind" when I shift into third gear unless I take it rather slow. I believe the car has a B & M shifter in it that the previous owner installed. There is nothing stamped on the shifter indicating it's origin(brand or model). The car had 2,800 miles on it when I bought it.
Any ideas/suggestions??? Bob Weichbrodt PowerTour W-S, NC

Sounds like you simply need a new clutch. Put in a heavy duty clutch instead of the stock replacement.

if its a B&M i would also look at the adjuster bolts. Had a similar problem when I installed a B&M in my roush.

That shouldn't be the problem. Only a slipping clutch would cause an actual "grinding" of the gears.

The grinding has gotten A LOT worse!!! It is almost impossible to to upshift or downshift into third without a lot of grinding. It sounds to me like the sycros are shot. I read a few posts on the 'net about this being a problem with Mustang trannys, not just on Roush models.
Do you guys know of any service bulliteins that refer to tranny problems??? I would like to get this fixed under warranty, but I think Ford may be a little hesitant since the car has been modified by Roush. I am going to check with the closest Roush dealer today to see if they can help me. Bob Weichbrodt Roush 360R W-S, NC

PT...pull the cover to your boot. Then the rubber noise reduction cover, Then look at the top/engine side adjustment bolt. Take it to wher its almost out set it there and see if your problem continues. Its what I had to do when I installed my B&M. Did it and now have 50K + miles on it with out a problem.
PS...it would be better for you to find this then a shop that ill charge you to do it. Also ford wont cover an adjust ment to a aftermarket sifter under warrenty.

I agree with everyone else. Check the adjustable stop bolts to see if they have worked loose. If that is not the case then I would look at some other problem. If you can not resolve the issue by adjustment, let me know since I have a factory shifter I could send you to pop in long enough to take it to a dealer for service. Also I have a friend that works in the service department for one of our local Ford dealers. If you get any crap about warranty work and modifications, let me know and I will hook you up with him. I have heavy modifications and they never question anything when I take my car to them. I know you are in Winston Salem so you are not that far away.
