If you bought a Ford ESP contract, it depends on what level of contract you purchased. Most of the Ford contracts will cover internal trans problems, but nothing clutch related. If you bought an aftermarket policy like INDS/Transcon, Western General, MBPI, etc. you might be covered also, but they are bastards to deal with. Get ready to fight with them if that's the case. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Coolones1</b> <br /><small>Member # 4283</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,7,29,8,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If you think it is a Ford dealership extened service plan call the service department and give them your Vin# and they can run it to determine the coverage on the vehicle.

Shift to 4th, then move it to reverse and it wont grind.<br /><br />90% of the time grinding when entering a gear is a clutch related problem.<br /><br />the other 10% is the synchro for that gear will be bad, but AFAIK there are no synchro's for reverse, hence why you need to shift to 4th (which has a synchro) that accelerates the gears in the transmission to match the speed of the engine before shifting into reverse. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PasadenaCobra</b> <br /><small>Member # 4819</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,7,30,1,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I've tried the 4th gear first.
