Why does my car's T-45 tick? I noticed this a while back and could never find an answer. Does everyone else's tick? It ticks at idle, and no other time.

Also, sometimes when I turn on my car, why is it that occasionally my car's shifts feel like butter? They are so smooth, I am seriously inclined to think that something is wrong. My shifts always sink, but it's always a little rough going in. Today for some odd reason 1st and third were oddly smooth. Anyone else ever experience this?
yea mine does the same thing even though its the 3650. but sometimes the change in temps will screw with it. some days it seems a little rough, but then other days like today, it went into the gears butter smooth and crisp...

Alot of echoing goes on when there is a ticking noise, etc. If it only happens at idle, you may look into this.
Ford Motor Company told dealers that 4.6L 2V engines built prior to 29 September 03 and installed in 2001 through 2004 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles may have defective cylinder heads.
The engines were installed in:
• 2001 - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Cars
• 2002 - 2004 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer
• 2001 - 2004 Ford Mustang GT
• 2001 - 2004 Ford E-Series Vans
• 2001 - 2004 Expedition
• 2001 - 2004 F150s
According to Ford, the 4.6L engines "may exhibit an engine tick noise that is present at all temperatures during idle. The noise may be emanating from the valve guide area in the cylinder head. The noise may be more prevalent in the front wheel area, any may not be heard with the hood open."
Unfortunately, Ford may not notify owners of this action and will only perform the service to those who know what to ask for in order to get their vehicle fixed. It's part of Ford's secret warranty program - a.k.a, "If you don't ask, we won't tell."
Owners should contact their Ford of Lincoln Mercury dealership service center to perform service T-31604 or Pat Hoye (313) 248-8336 at Ford World Headquarters or click here for a Ford executive assigned to your area for more information. Owners are advised to have their vehicles inspected before the warranty period expires.
