Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | Nov 20, 2010
Reported on Nov 20, 2010
| SINCE VEHICLE WAS NEW, MT82 TRANSMISSION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT IN COLD WEATHER. FREQUENT SYNCHRO GRINDING IN 1-2, 2-3, AND 3-4 SHIFTS. NOW GETTING WORSE IN SUMMER CONDITIONS. STARTING TO GRIND DURING THE 1-2, AND 2-3 SHIFT. ESPECIALLY WHEN TRANSMISSION IS COLD, WHEN TURNING LEFT (1-2), AND WHEN SHIFTING ON ROUGH PAVEMENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP FOR A FLUID CHANGE (TSB), WHICH DID NOT HELP. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE OR IMPLEMENT FURTHER CORRECTIVE ACTION. I AM CONCERNED THE CONDITION WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP INTO THE DANGEROUS FAILURE MODE OTHER OWNERS ARE BEGINNING TO SEE (FAILURE TO ENGAGE GEAR). A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THE MT82 TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY. *TR | |
