This is a very depressing story folks...
:depress:
I recently purchased a 04 MM with 59000 miles on it. ITS an amazing machine. I only drove it hard 4 times (1st time - 120, 2nd time - 110, 3rd time 90 somthing, and the last time i did 100.) But the last time i got down in it hard it felt funny when it hit 100 ,after 100 it felt like it wanted to shift into another gear. It didn't feel that the other times i hit it hard. So anyway, A couple days later i was pulling into my girlfriends house and i heard a funny noise. It sounded like a grinding noise. I only heard it once. so i dismissed it. So we went to the next town 40 miles away and i parked to get out. When i got back in and put it in reverse i heard a loud clicking thumpin noise. It was one click thump.... After i backed up i heard the grinding noise again. And this time is was noticeble and here to stay. So i drove the car home careful not to exceed 60mph. I took it to my friends house. He's a ford certified mechanic. He told me it was the transmission. I felt like my someone shot me. lol...
Monday i'll take it to the dealership. hopefully it'll be somthing other than the transmission... somthing cheaper... but i think its the tranny. because when i put it in drive and take my foot off the brake, the car just sits there untill i hit the gas... and now that i think about it, it was doing it a little bit before it started making the grinding noise. Oh yea. I doesn't go in reverse any... well somtimes it does... but not really...
:mad2:
What do yall think...????????????
