Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | July 28, 2011
Reported on July 28, 2011
| HERE'S WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. 1. CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS TO FLOOR AT HIGHER RPM SHIFTS (5000 PLUS) AND WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL RPM HAS LOWERED TO LESS THAN 3500 RPM. DOESN?T MATTER WHAT GEAR I?M SHIFTING INTO. 2. I WAS LOCKED INTO 2ND GEAR WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STUCK TO FLOOR. THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PULL OUT OF 2ND TO GO TO 3RD UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN (LESS THAN 3500 RPM) AND CLUTCH RELEASED. THEN ONCE I PUSHED THE CLUTCH BACK IN AFTER IT RELEASED I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD. 3. AT A HIGHER RPM SHIFT (5000 PLUS) I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I WAS LOCKED OUT OF 3RD GEAR. I WAS GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN AT A LOWER RPM (ABOUT 3500-4000) THEN I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 3RD. 4. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO GO INTO REVERSE AND 1ST GEAR SOMETIMES WHEN CLUTCH IS PUSHED DOWN TO FLOOR WHILE THE CAR IS AT A STOP. IF I LET THE CLUTCH OUT AND DOUBLE PUMP IT THEN IT WILL LET ME BUT THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AND SOUNDS CLUNKY. 5. NOT ALLOWED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND SOMETIMES AND WHEN IT DOES FINALLY GO INTO GEAR, IT FEELS LIKE THE SHIFTER DOESN?T FULLY ENGAGE INTO 2ND. 6. REALLY HARD SOMETIMES TO DOWN SHIFT BACK TO 1ST FROM ANY GEAR WHILE DRIVING WITH CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED TO FLOOR. 7. SOMETIMES THERE IS A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE GOING INTO 2ND WITH CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED TO FLOOR. 8. SLIGHT GRINDING INTO 3RD SOMETIMES WITH CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED TO FLOOR. 9. SLIGHT GRINDING INTO 5TH SOMETIMES WITH CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED TO FLOOR. 10. TRANSMISSION FEELS AND SOUNDS CLUNKY WHEN SHIFTING INTO ALL GEARS. *TT | |
