2012 V6 / manual

I notice a vibration coming through the transmission when I am coasting/decelerating while in 3rd gear - it happens from around 2600rpms down to about 2200 before it goes away. I haven't noticed any issue in 2nd gear.

The vibration is similar to the vibration you get when the engine gets bogged down in too high of a gear, although at a bit higher frequency.

I haven't had any of the other big issues with this transmission that others have mentioned, but was wondering if this was unique and/or something I should be talking to the dealer about.

Thanks!

Common deal, Ford has acknowledged it and says it is a characteristic of the dual mass flywheel, so there is no fix by Ford.

If someday you upgrade the clutch then you can put a solid aluminum flywheel in and it shouldn't do it any more.

Thanks for the responses. A tab bit annoying, but glad it isn't a big deal.
