My 2005 Roush stage 1 has 153,000 on the clock. The engine (full long block) was replaced at around 115,000. The clutch was replaced at the same time. I have completely rebuilt the suspension front and rear. Also installed a Ford performance 1 piece aluminum drive line. The suspension and drive line now has about 1000 miles on them.
So the only thing on the car with 153,000 miles on it is the rear end and the transmission. The rear end was dealer serviced at 118,000 due to a leaking pinion seal. And when I checked the trans fluid it was bright red and did not smell burnt.
The noise it is making is mostly in first and second. It sounds like it is coming from the front of the trans and does not sound like it is dampened by fluid. Once the car is warmed up it seems to happen less but it will definitely still do it. It does it more if you shift slowly. If you shift it fast it seems to not do it. The trans does shift very smoothly beside the noise with no grinding or pop outs. If I get on and off the gas quickly in first or second it will make the loud metallic clank! Please help!
