Ford Mustang Power Train Safety Report | Sept 23, 2010
Reported on Sept 23, 2010
| THE TRANSMISSION DISPLAYS GRINDING NOISES AND DIFFICULTY UPSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD OR 4TH TO 5TH WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE ISSUES GETTING CAR INTO 1ST GEAR FROM NEUTRAL AT A RED LIGHT SOMETIMES. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO GO INTO REVERSE WHEN CLUTCH IS PUSHED DOWN TO FLOOR DURING COLD STARTS. TRANSMISSION FEELS AND SOUNDS CLUNKY WHEN SHIFTING INTO ALL GEARS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE OUR TRANSMISSIONS MADE IN CHINA. SKIP SHIFT IS NOT CAUSING DAMAGED SYNCHROS, BROKEN SHIFT FORKS AND SHATTERED GEAR TEETH INSIDE THE NUMEROUS FAILED MT82'S; LOW QUALITY COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS IS CAUSING IT. *TR | |
