Horrible sound on new GT-Videos
I purchased a 2016 Mustang GT back in June and it has developed a rather nasty sound coming from the shiftier area. Rather than trying to describe the sound I have attached two videos of what I am talking about. This started at around 5,000 miles and happened right around 4,000 RPM. It currently has 8,000 miles and is starting to get louder and appear at lower RPMs.
So the story so far...
A few months ago I took the vehicle into the dealer at 5,000 miles, the mechanic working on the vehicle test drove it and heard the noise. He said it was not normal, and sounded like it was emanating from the transmission. I was also told that Ford was aware of this, but has not offered any guidance on a fix so no corrective action was done.
Now to today... I brought the Mustang back to the dealer because the sound is now starting at lower RPMs (down as low as 2,000) It has been there for a week. I got a much different answer this time than I did last time. At first they claimed they didn't hear the sound I was talking about. (Even though it was in the notes from the last visit). They agreed to test drive it again in the morning to see if they could reproduce. I called back the next day and the dealer said the mechanic did hear the noise and they had it on the lift trying to diagnose. Sat/Sun/Mon go by and I had not heard anything from the dealer so I called them. Here is were the story changes completely...
..They said that the noise was completely normal and sounds like any other GT mustang with a manual transmission!
So my question to you guys. Do all your Mustangs sound like this? What do you think this is?
I have to go pick up the vehicle this afternoon.
Thanks in advance.

check your shift linkage, and make sure that the driveshaft to trans flange attaching bolts are snapped off from doing 7k rpm clutch dumps,(causes the driveshaft to wobble and contact shift linkage), like the one i had to fix last month.
