No TSBs for boot squeaking or window rattle on the V6.  Co-worker has a V6 vert and he's had it in six times for the transmisson/clutch.  It still grinds, but I'm not sure he knows how to drive stick :unsure:

I find that if I burn the clutch (by momentarily riding it above 2500 RPM while the car is stationary), the clutch will 'grind' or 'stutter' on engagement in 1st gear for a while.

however, it goes away eventually and the clutch goes back to engaging smoothly.

now if only I can master backing into sloped parking spots and driveways... a 3500lb car takes a lot more finesse on the clutch than the focus did. The mustang doesn't recover from 'near stalls' like the focus did.
