5 Noises During Shifting problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2014

While accelerating the truck will make a whining/groaning noise coming from the transmission area and will go away once the truck has finished accelerating to the speed limit. The whole truck will also jump making a noticeable thud while shifting into reverse with the truck stationary and the brakes applied, it will occasionally do the same shifting into drive, again while stationary. When I park the truck on a incline big or small the truck will make a loud buzzing noise coming from underneath and a vibration can be felt that will last a few seconds to a minute, the sound can be heard shifting through p,n,d,r as well. The last issue occurs when the outside temps are cold and I drive the truck 15-20mins with a average speed of 50mph. I have taken the truck to the dealer who attempted to fix the issue to no avail. I have spoke with another dealer's service manager who was not very helpful in solving my issue. I'm currently in touch with a Ford regional customer service representative and in the process of going back to a dealer.
