I have a 03 Mondeo TDCi Zetec. I've noticed over the last few weeks a funny noise in the gears which only appears to happen when Idowngear from 5 to 4 or 3 to 2, and sounds something like a 'thump' just after i change gear and as i let the clutch out. Doesn't appear to happen any other time and never when I am changing gears upwards. Its not very loud, a passenger could mis it but I can feel it too because my hand is on the gear stick.
I had to replace the starter motor a few months back and it started shortly after that - could there be a connection?
