Clunk noise
We've got an '04 PSD that makes a clunk when we go from reverse to drive. It doesn't do it every time but it seems to be getting more common (Its only 3 months old) and louder.
We took it in to the dealership and were able to duplicate the noise for them. After having it for the day they informed us that it was normal for the new 6.0 liters and referred us to some ford tech article. This is the second time this dealership has "fixed" our problem with an "article" that could have been typed on one of their computers.
My question to anyone who might know is, has anyone else been referred to similar articles and is the clunk really nothing to worry about? Being isolated in Alaska makes it that much harder to trust a dealership.

Do some searching on "clunk" here. It's an oft discussed issue and is considered normal by ford these days. Our 03 Lmtd did the same thing. It was getting pretty loud and consistent when we had it bought back a couple of weeks ago with 15k on it.

This is the backlash that's even more pronounced when you go quickly from reverse to forward... Mine's never done it so I can't help there...
but someone on here did explain it...
can't recall where right now, but like jeb said - do a search and it should show up...

I never go quickly from drive to reverse, etc. I have way too much respect for auto tranny repair bills to do that.
