Faint Grind...
Well I just got my car last night from Carmax, I couldnt be happier with the car its a 2003 GT with 11k miles.
Since Im really not used to these cars I was listening to it carefully and noticed when I am in 2nd gear and low rpm (example in my complex there are speed bumps and i keep it in 2nd clutch in and out to accelerate deccelerate) I hear a faint grind, now from my experience a grind is NEVER a good thing...
let me know what you guys think.. I still got 30 days to take it back to carmax, and it still has the factory ford warranty

RE: Faint Grind...
Where do you think the grind is coming from? Transmission, the engine, rear of your car? Does it happen when pressing the brakes? I think we'll need some more info. before someone can help you out.

when im in 2nd and I depress teh clutch and accelerate a bit i hear a faint grind from under the car.. definately tranny related...this is only under light acceleration though.. when its regular driving or a bit harder it feels/sounds just fine

Yeah, it is normal. 1st and 2nd gear in these cars is noisey. My friends and co-workers always notice/ask about it whenever they get into my car and we drive around a parking lot. 1st is the worst. I dont' think i'd call it a grinding though...more like a whine.
