FWIW, I had a clunking on shift - basically any gear with the RPM's not quite matched (easy to do with stock ECU software and lack of decent 'blipability') made a nice clunk sound.
One dealer said, yea, my jeep does that. I told him a) this is not HIS, b) this is not a jeep and c) I don't care what your's does... of course that didn't help the situation. They probably sat on the damned car all day. All for my trouble they dented my front fender and had to replace it. (which they did, thankfully a totalled identical car was on the lot).
That having been said, I took it to another dealer. The mechanic is a fellow board member that went for a ride with me. It didn't sit right with him, so he went out again on his own. He called Ford services and they told him to replace the whole thing. No mess around, send it in.
So a week later a new tranny.
Fast forward 800 miles - the clunk is back. Not as bad as before, but back. arrrrrrgh!
BTW: this is not the problem of grinding souind that the tranny TSB covers.
