Whoa.. I'm gonna join the party here.

Every so often my TOB would "honk" when I depressed it shift but now it's escalated. When the car is cold, like getting firing up in the morning or after work, the TOB is very audible when the clutch is depressed. So much so that this morning I almost considered driving the Expedition to work.

However, once the engine/transmission is warmed up the TOB doesn't make the grinding noise when the clutch is depressed so it would be very hard to take it to the dealer and replicate it in front of them. I'd have to drop it off and come back.

I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow and see what they say.
