[QUOTE="gateguard1, post: 16961470, member: 205149"] My newly acquired 01 Cobra with T3650 has a quirk I can't quite diagnose. No matter the situation, it almost always clunks into gear when I move the shifter with the clutch entirely depressed. It's more of a quick thud that slightly vibrates the whole car for a split second every time. It's not a grind. I can be at a dead stop and put it into first and clunk. The worst is first to second. Get rolling in first, push in the clutch entirely, gently try and put it into second, and always a vibration/thud as it slides into second. The car does make a similar clunk if I don't perfectly rev match (which is pain rowing thru the gears and trying to do so with that obnoxious rev hang that makes you wait an eternity between shifts). Local mechanic says it's just a loud clutch, but idk something about it just seems too weird. Again there's no grinding, and yes I know how to drive manual. I've owned and daily driven manual cars for many years, including an 02 GT with the same trans that did not do this. The fact that it'll do it in first when the car is entirely stationary, as well as the lack of an actual grind, and the fact a similar clunk is heard when releasing the clutch pedal if the revs are not perfectly matched leads me to believe there's another issue within the drive line than the transmission itself. Could anyone help point me in the right direction of where to start the diagnosis. As a side note I have ordered a Ford Performance adjustable clutch cable to kit to install to hopefully eliminate the probability that it's the clutch not fully disengaging [/QUOTE]
