1 Noises During Shifting problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2021

Manual transmission thumping/clunking sound when engaging into a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Happens more often when coming up o a stop and I re-engage into a gear. Feels as if something falls into place after the thump/clunk noise. Has 58,000 miles. It's intermediate, and it happens mostly on city limits. Although I have heard it when downshifting at highway limits. I am close to hitting 60,000 miles which my warranty will up very soon. I am afraid 10,000 miles from here I will be stuck with a tranny bill to pay out pocket. Ford should at least acknowledge the issue, and provide information to its dealers so they can perform surgery on the vehicle, and weed out this issue. Doesn't feel right when you spend over 30k on a car, then a quarter into their lifespan there is major power train issues.
