Bad vibration

...

MY 2006 BF Falcon ute has a vibration in the auto transmission between 1500 and 2000 revs. The original transmission had a clunk when I changed down and was changed a few months ago, which fixed the clunk but not the vibration. The dealer told me they couldn't do anything and passed the problem on to Ford. I tried phoning the customer assistance service and have been told they would get back to me, but I have heard nothing.

UNFORTUNATELY, you have the Falcon ute blues. The one-tonner Ford supplied for me to drive a few months ago had the vibration you complain about, but I think it's from the driveline, not the transmission. The transmission clunk you complain about is common and Ford's fix is to change the transmission. Unfortunately, the clunk usually returns. Many owners have had several transmissions in their Falcons. I don't believe Ford has a fix, it's just the way the cars are, but you can try maintaining your rage.
