It was the transmission output shaft flange. Tons more info if you search on this site. A few people have had it done. I think it wasn't greased properly, leading to play IIRC. Here's my repair order if it helps your dealer.
There you go :)
Not sure how bad yours is yet, it does get progressively worse, but these were the sound of my flange right before it was replaced.
It got to the stage where any change between accel and decel would immediately clunk.
Good luck!
Sounds like the output shaft flange for sure. It's well documented on here. It will get worse. If it clunks on pure decel it's that. Accelerate to 35 ish in 2nd and just let off throttle. 5 seconds later, clunk. I have youtube vids of mine doing it if you need...
There's tons of people on here...
I actually feel sorry for Ford Corp. They were reasonable. But that dealer charged a markup and gets to keep it, while throwing Corp under the bus. They had to pay it back to me, AND the undervalued trade. Doesn't seem fair really.
Like I say they should charge it back to them. But I believe...
TLDR - Made money on a lemon due to arrogant dealer.
Posting this for 3 reasons:
1) Therapy.
2) In case a potential buyer ever searches for it, so they know the history.
3) So Ford know exactly what happened with their stupid dealer in Sarasota FL.

Just an update. I just had the opposite experience to VaporBlue.S650 above.
Having been back to Ford numerous times, driven other auto '24s and heard the noise they make, the dealer basically said they couldn't identify the noise as anything to be concerned about.
Before I took the car away I...
An update in case anyone is interested. I spoke to the service manager today who at least was upfront with me. I'll start with the good bit - absolutely no denial that the damage occurred on the lift. That's about where the good news ends.
He said he'd heard about the car before it went in the...
Just joining the party! I'm getting a really bad whine from the engine. Initially thought it was the trans pump. The dealer took a look and said he thinks it's something on the engine. I've had a new alternator fitted to try and solve it but it hasn't changed. It's getting progressively worse. I...
This!
But it's like "we know best", and you're wasting their time when you make a request. I'm not asking much here, just stop ruining my car every time you get my keys 😣
They did not. It's auto. It's something belt driven. Rises and falls with revs. But it's not trans as it does it in neutral. Just need a competent dealership.
Not too worried about that tbh. I took a pic of it on the lift and you can see where the arms are, and this is exactly in that spot. What else could have damaged the underside of the sideskirt?
I've wasted 4 days off work for this now and every time I take it in they damage it some more. And I...
Kinda losing the will to live here. I've used the same dealership (Matthews Currie Ford, Venice FL) for years in my F-150 with no issues. I had to buy my Dark Horse from a different dealership off the lot but it had a whining noise from the engine so I asked these guys to look at it. It's been a...
@LethalPerformance...
Do you know if the Dark Horse is still going to get it's own kit? I saw a post by Ford Performance a while ago saying it was coming soon but nothing since. I assume with the stronger internals they may be able to squeeze a little more out of the DH?
So if it's due...
I had nothing but issues with an early A129 a few years ago. Extreme temps in Florida summer just made it freeze up and drain the battery. After the 3rd time it got ripped out and tossed in the cupboard.
That Blackvue 970X Box setup really appeals for this reason. Great idea. Can't wait for the...
The noise varies with revs, nothing else. It's as loud to me at 5mph as 50mph if the revs are similar. But if you drop a gear and the revs increase, so does the pitch and volume of the whine.
Ford acknowledge a '10R80 whine' but say it's the straight cut gears in the fluid pump, so I guess the...
I wasn't engine braking or paddle shifting - that was just Sport mode doing it's thing.
Guessing probably 3rd or 4th at that speed... wasn't watching. It's obviously much louder in real life than the camera picks up. It's not that it bothers me, I mean I'd rather it wasn't there... but I was...
This is my first Mustang, coming from a 2018 F-150 with the 10R80.
I have the auto Dark Horse. I've read about the whining noise some people get and know it's the straight cut pump gears which Ford call a "characteristic", but I'm getting it pretty darn bad, on overrun especially. The F-150 was...
