[QUOTE="barstoolman, post: 8572362, member: 77671"] I was experiencing the same symptoms as the OP. Second gear was constantly popping out of gear plus, my car was creeping forward when the car was either idling with the clutch depressed or in neutral. The Tech took it for a ride..........the dealership was already well aware of the problem due to prior customers' complaints (way before the TSB finally came out in July of '08) and had all the replacement parts in stock including, all new synchros. The Tech agreed that my car was displaying the symptoms described in the TSB and the work was performed. I truly believe that Ford and its dealer network are trying to back away from taking care of legitimate clutch drag problems due to flywheel warpage as a result of the current economic crisis the nation as well as the auto industry are in. If necessary, I would hire an attorney to handle this for you as Ford should not be allowed to shirk its responsibility as to making repairs/replacements on a known and admitted design flaw they let out into the market. How does a dealer even have the nerve to say that it is "normal wear and tear" on your clutch and that simply installing new clutch is the resolution to the issue??? How is a new clutch going to help you if the flywheel is warped and the synchros are already damaged?? Find a reputable dealer to take care of you and in turn, he will earn your future business.
