Clunk Noice When Shifting Gear And Releasing The Clutch.

[JVelle]

I experience a "clunk" noise when shifting gear and releasing the clutch. If I do this carefully I can avoid this.

It sounds like it comes from the gearbox or might the shafts.

 

 

Is this a known problem on the Galaxy (2007-mod.)?

It could be a n umber of things - Possibly engine mountings, or even worse the dreaded Half shaft problem. How many mikes has the car done?

The mileage is only 30000. (48000 km)

It sounds like some slack in the transmission.

It is becomes more noticeable first after a couple of miles. Like something that has

to be heating up first?

I had to replace the drive shaft on the right side a month ago, the inner knuckle joint was

damaged due to entrance of water (according to the garage people where i bought it). They

replaced it with a shaft from a 2006mod. Galaxy they had for sale. The mileage was appr. the same (they claim !?)

I get the same issue with mine, its only done 4500 miles. There is also a very fine vibration that can be felt through the pedals, steering wheel and gear lever. In fact it's so fine that the ford mechanics cannot detect it, but my kids can. My previous 57 plate galaxy had the same transmission clunk. I just thought it was standard issue!
