Time for "The Secret Sauce" Lucas Tanny Fix and Mobil 1 Tranny Oil... I had the exact same problem dude! They tell me it's an inherant problem with these trannies.. The Sauce quiets it alright but it still rattles a bit. Good Luck

Throw out bearings inherently make a little noise. Just look at how they sit in there.

Ford "solved" the problem by putting just a little bit of pressure on the bearing. Not enough to load the bearing, jsut enough to keep it quiet. That's accomplished by the auto adjusting feature of the stock quadrant. Maybe yours is not working properly. Or, if you've changed to an adjustable cable, you need to tighten it a little more.

Differant oil and additives will not change a TO bearing noise.
