Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | Jan 03, 2011
Reported on Jan 03, 2011
| I ORIGINALLY TOOK MY 2011 MUSTANG TO THE FORD DEALER WITH A COMPLAINT OF VERY DIFFICULT 1-2 AND 2-3 SHIFTING IN COLD WEATHER (BELOW 30 DEGREES AMBIENT TEMPERATURE). FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE 21661) AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THIS WAS NOT A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK ON MARCH 24TH, 2011AND REQUESTED THAT THEY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MOTORCRAFT FULL SYNTHETIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, JUST TO SEE IF IT HELPED. IT MADE THE PROBLEM LESS PRONOUNCED, BUT DID NOT SOLVE IT. ON APRIL 4TH, 2011 THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT FORD FINALLY CAME UP WITH A RECOMMENDED SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED TO MOTORCRAFT DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE FLUID, BUT I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE IF THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE MORNING TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 30 DEGREES, WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THE FLUID WAS CHANGED THE SECOND TIME. *TR | |
