Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | July 31, 2011
Reported on July 31, 2011
| I OWN A 2011 MUSTANG GT WITH THE MT-82 TRANSMISSION. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 10 MONTHS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED VERY UNUSUAL SHIFTING BEHAVIOR FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF OWNING THIS CAR. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE SHIFTING ACTION IS THAT IT IS REALLY NOTCHY, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS AND IT SOMETIMES TAKES QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO ANY GEAR. NOTE THAT THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND NO MATTER HOW LONG THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING. I HAVE VISITED THE DEALER THREE SEPARATE TIMES AND BEEN TOLD THAT, ACCORDING TO FORD, THE OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL. THIS, TO ME IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL AS I HAVE 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS EXCLUSIVELY, HAVING OWNED 14 CARS DURING THAT SPAN, ALL OF THEM WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. *TT | |
