well no complaints yet. Took her over 100 with no vibration. I only get a little noise from about 80-85 and it isnt bad at all.

keltymd

did you get your dropped off?

I Found this and I had to post it. C&D did a long term test with a 2013 GT Track Pack and guess what.... They had to have two sets of gears put in it and FORD released a TSB so tehy said..........

Yeah Ford has never had anyone with this issue my foot.............

farsidejunky

I know. I ain't buying it either. I dropped it off today, along with requesting the mirror be tightened (thanks Kelty) and the puddle lights be replaced. They look scratched or something. Just weird.

35,700 miles; take advantage of the factory warranty.

keltymd

They replaced mine and it didn't fix it was actually worse I did the oring fix and it is fine now

I literally just joined the forum because I'm having a vibration issue. I reported it months ago and have been struggling with the Ford shop to get a solution.

keltymd

Call ford open a ticket. What year and model options

farsidejunky

Specifically what rear end gear ratio?

PM Dyesha to open the ticket.

I imagine she is still following this thread, although if she is not I would not blame her. I held her to task in a pretty agressive manner.

Welcome to the forum, jstang12! I'm Crystal, I'll be helping out here while Deysha is on vacation. What's your Mustang's model year and mileage? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.

On my way to the dealership to test drive. According to the tech (via the adviser) problem is better but NOT solved.

More to follow.

Thanks farside and Crystal. I drive a 2012 V6 Premium with under 34k. I first went to the dealer regarding this back in October of last year when it only had 25k. The more I drive, the more concerned I am...

jstang12

It's all stock, let me know about that test drive farside. Being that my pinion seal just went out, I have a feeling I'm headed in the same direction.

jstang12

oh yeah, and thanks to keltymd, glad yours worked out, gives me (some) faith

keltymd

Well like I told Ford today. It's ok for now but from what I have seen it only lasts a couple thousand miles and starts up with issues again going by what others have said.

farsidejunky

in the vehicle driving it now. Doing this by voice so no promises on spelling or punctuation. Nothing is fixed. Rear glass and mirror still rattle. Still strong vibration from 65 to 75 miles an hour. W... T... F...

keltymd

Sounds like the tech didn't set the gears up right. I bet he took the old ones out and reused the old shim settings

farsidejunky

back to the dealership now. What should the settings be? What would they have been?

keltymd

My be is backlash was set to .007 factory and it should be around .012

farsidejunky

Tech set it to .008. Is it different for Thorsen and standard rear ends?

Also, the tech said the old ring and pinion looked good, but the pinion bearing had some minor improper wear.

Thoughts?

jstang12

I talked to my boss at work who's also a gear head and was an ASE mechanic for years, and he said setting that up takes an expert touch and he doubts most shops can do it right due to tight tolerances with shimming. I've always been a Ford guy, this one's the first I regret buying. Warranty doesn't mean much if there's an engineering issue. Stuck with payments in a car I don't want to drive. Crystal if you have any pointers going into this, let me know. They're replacing the vent and pinion seal as soon as they get the parts in. However, this isn't going to fix the vibration.

keltymd

.008 is the lower end of the spec. I like a little more room and no it is not different for Torsen. If he is at .008 that should be ok at least you would not have noticed issues yet
