...im hearing from different birdies this will happen soon...anybody else catch wind of this also?
TSB for rear motor mount
- Thread starter KingBlack
- Start date
Read it over there this week or it started last week. Sounds like it will be a couple months before anything happens if it does. For the cost of the efocus mount and minimal labor time, I will do it myself. It was even rumored that new productions are getting the mount but I will believe it when I see it.

Definitely need to get with the dealer on this one. I haven't taken it in once so far, been doing maintenance at home. If it's a TSB they have to do it without going to beat on it first to prove the issue is there, correct?
Depends on your dealer. Mine just asked what it was doing, I said it and then ordered the parts. Other dealers are asking to duplicate the problem, but most people are taking the tech or service writer for a ride and not letting someone else just drive it. Just talk to your dealer and go from there
tsb includes all mounts and 1.8 hours labor, ordered mine yesterday but several are on backorder
My parts for this are on order, my local Ford dealership agreed to complete the TSB work. I took the mechanic for a ride and could not reproduce the knock noise from this TSB. I did hear it once from shifting 1-2. Just a waiting game now to the work done.
Heard it for the first time last night as it was my first time getting on it from 1st to 2nd.
Shifted from 1st to 2nd @ 5700rpms, and bammmmmm bammmmmm. My wife was said WTF was that. Not a good sounding noise and I didn't even shift at readline or power shift. Will be visiting ford this weekend

Got my service appt on Monday. I've also realized it happens alot easier in sport mode.
Moderate acceleration in sport mode causes the slam of the RMM
Heavy acceleration in regular mode causes the slam of the RMM
This is from my testing

Yup. Just got my call and they heard the banging. Parts ordered, but on backorder.
My dealership claimed to know nothing about this, and the salesman heard it on my test drive. I'm going to enjoy the car for a few days, before I go in and get this resolved.
everything on mine is still backordered. I have mine and a friends waiting. they billed for the clutch lines but still nothing has showed up
I printed out the TSB, going to call this week, see when they can get me in to get it taken care of.
My car is there today for the TSB. Will be interesting to see how it feels after and then looking forward to modding it now.
hoping they give me the new rear mount so I can get money back from the dealer since I already installed one.
