Is this normal...im thinking my clutch may need to be adjusted...


When I come to a full stop and go to shift in 1st (sometimes) I grind (gears still spining) is that normal? what could be worng? If i wait a couple secs it wont happen

Sounds like synchros. Also, keep in mind that 1st gear has a gear stop so you can't shift into 1st gear while going over 10 MPH. If you try to shift into 1st it almost seems like the synchros aren't synching.

yeah...this happens at a full stop..if i go to a stop sign and throw it into first within 2 seconds of my stop it usally happens...How much would it cost to fix my synchros


Depends on who you have do it. Probably looking at half a day and $400+ if Ford did it. Is it still under warranty?
