Why are you accelerating hard when the engine is cold?
At least they found the problem. Good to know there are some good techs out there.

So, I FINALLY got the problem fixed! My normal Ford dealership was closed, so I had to take it to Woodfield Ford in Schaumburg, IL. Luckily, they had seen the problem before - and they're trying to get Ford to issue a TSB about this as it is common. So, here is the solution - and if anyone else has a problem, tell them to call Woodfield Ford in IL - 847 882 5031 - they've fixed the problem before, and did it again with me!
EDIT: the problem was the spacer plate between engine and transmission contacting the back of the engine - print the following out and give it to your dealer if need be!

Thanks for the tip! I'll be doing this first http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showpo...mp;postcount=7 , before dropping the transmission. My car is out of warranty so I'm on my own. Also, on the invoice you have, it says "remove plate and off metal section that was making contact". It looks like there might be some words missing - "remove plate and off metal"?
