Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | Aug 03, 2011
Reported on Aug 03, 2011
| DURING THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING (BEFORE THE CAR HAS HAD A CHANCE TO REACH ITS OPERATING TEMPERATURE), THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND SOMETIMES 2ND TO 3RD. TODAY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR OR BACK INTO 1ST LEAVING ME COASTING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE TRYING TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. FINALLY I SKIPPED INTO 4TH GEAR AND ACCELERATED MUCH SLOWER THAN EXPECTED NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR | |
