I havent really noticed the squikage in the interior. It would annoy me though.lol
The only thing I could gripe about is the auto trans.....i wish it was a manual.lol When you manually shift in the auto it waits like 1-1.5 seconds and then it shifts, which gets annoying. But after hearing all this bad stuff about the manual trans, maybe I am good with my trusty ol' auto. All I need is a shift kit and better shift points(courtesy of a predator tune) and I'm set.

It's not the 3650 that's the problem guys...it's the cheap plastic synchros ford used in them. I had them replaced under the TSB and the difference was unbeilieveable. The replacements are an upgraded part.
Or now you can get carbon fiber synchros for the 3650 and t-45....friend is putting them in his t-45 he just blew.
also, try some Synchromesh or Royal Purple tranny fluid...huge difference in shifting smoothness.
btw most replaced part so far is my fog lights. I've had the two years and I've replaced each 3 times

Interior sqeaks and rattles by far... there's so many.
Stones that get thrown up by the front tires (only 265 width) and scratch the sides of my side scoops [:@] I can't complain too much because that's all that is getting scratched.
Stop complaining about the throwout bearing, it's a part that's made to wear out and be replaced anyway.
