No but I am starting to get the faint chirp when going from R to 1 and 1 to 2 mentioned in the other thread here! I wonder if the axle lube theory is behind all this BS....Thinkin about takin the ride back to INF to repair it if I continue hearing it for 1-2 more weeks. I assume it's nothing too severe.

Yep axle lube things looks like the Japs (no WWII connotation intended whatsoever) had soem kind of specs off and it's happening on what seems to sound like 4 out of every 5 G's.....Interesting. I am making an appointment for it when my car is broken in at 1200 mi....I figure by then if it's an issue of needing to be broken in and it resolves then cool, but if not by then I will get it fixed. Im only at 450 mi now so if anything it ain't too severe and by the time im at 1200 I am assuming nearly every service dept will be aware of it and know EXACTLY what to do....

doesn't the manual say something about a clunking sound? but i think its just the way u drive...i get it too sometimes and i think its when i get off the clutch tooo fast
just wondering.. my mustang was terrible about that...
mostly happens when... im in 1st gear accelerating and because of a short distance between stop signs.. rev 1st up to 25-3000 and clutch it into neutral. or even wen im switching to 2nd gear. clunk. dont know what it is... gear box problem?
I just dropped my car off today and that was one of the things they are fixing. I dont think it is a tranny problem. They told me it was just a dry set of bushings making the sqeak.
