Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | June 01, 2011
Reported on June 01, 2011
| I HAVE A 2011 MUSTANG GT. STARTING AROUND 2K MILES I BEGAN HAVING NOTCHY SHIFTS. SINCE THEN (AROUND 5K MILES) A SLIGHT GRIND HAS DEVELOPED BETWEEN 1-2, 2-3 SHIFTS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY HARD TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP AFTER THE CAR IS WARM. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE NOTCHY SHIFTS. THE ENTIRE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED PER GUIDANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM A FORD TECH. AFTER THE REPAIRS THE SHIFTING WAS SLIGHTLY SMOOTHER BUT THE NOTCHINESS AND INTERMITTENT GRINDING REMAINS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET WORSE OR WILL FAIL. *TR | |
