Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | Mar 26, 2011
Reported on Mar 26, 2011
| I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT COUPE (THIS SITE WILL NOT LET ME SELECT A 2012 MUSTANG FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU, ONLY 2011), PURCHASED 3/11/11. IT IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A CLUTCH STAY OUT PROBLEM. IT IS A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AT HIGH RPM, THE CLUTCH WILL NOT RELEASE FOR THE SHIFT UNTIL THE RPMS FALL BACK BELOW A CERTAIN LEVEL. I AM UNSURE IF THIS HOLDS TRUE FOR ALL THE GEARS AS MY CAR IS STILL FAIRLY NEW AND IN BREAK-IN AND I HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY GEAR PAST 5K RPM. THAT SAID, THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE GOES LIKE THIS, TAKE FIRST GEAR PAST 3K RPM, SHIFT TO SECOND, CAR BUCKS, RPMS FALL, SECOND IS THEN ENGAGED, CAR LURCHES/LUNGES FORWARD AFTER THE CLUTCH CATCHES AND THEN IT LAUNCHES ONE FORWARD UNPREDICTABLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EVERY TIME I HAVE SHIFTED THE CAR INTO SECOND GEAR AFTER TAKING FIRST GEAR PAST 3K RPM. *TR | |
