issues with 4th gear

Here is a vid, you can't really tell but I have 4th problems.

I've learned that I don't feel it go into gear. I almost have to hold it down and let go of clutch and go.

I don't feel the usual click into gear you know?

Think that's a synchro problem? No grinding at all.

Thinking of taking it to ford. I have a blowfish bracket with stock shifter, SS Clutch line. Think they will give me flack when I take it in?

Hi tek302,

I agree with your bringing in to your Ford Dealer first and getting it fully diagnosed. Make sure you speak with your service manager if needed. He is in the best position to ensure a proper diagnosis, and will be able to provide available options and/or coverage for any work needed.

You can schedule an appointment online here.

Thank you, I scheduled an appointment at Rockwall ford For the evening.

I'm gonna load my factory tune back onto the vehicle just to get rid of any confusion.

Will get back with more info as they give it to me.

Had that happen when I first got the car, usually it was on high rev down shifts. IMO I think the issue is a misaligned shifter and the BF bracket fixed it for me.

Weird, are you shifting at or very close to redline?

It does it under heavy throttle, but fine under normal throttle.

Dropped it off, I'm assuming they won't find anything. Before I let them give it back, I'm gonna ride along with a tech to recreate the issue.

They called me and told me they are replacing 4th gear synchro.

Glad it wasn't my imagination. ..

As Per...
http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-i...ng-1113gt.html

Pulse Ring was designed to support higher RPM engine builds by extending the RPM range from 7700 to 8100 RPM without signal degradation.

If it's a DD and you have no plans on seeing higher RPM, then it may be not needed. The clutch is a different story. IMO If the trans comes out so dose the stock clutch.

When Ford rebuilt my trans. they also replaced the pluse ring and the up dated crank sensor. Ford has been great to work with.

Very depressing....

Thanks, tek302. The customer service manager will look into (if any) what options are available for you.
