Ford Mustang Power Train Safety Report | Sept 01, 2011
Reported on Sept 01, 2011
| SINCE PURCHASE OF MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG V6 WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION I HAVE NOTICED 5TH GEAR BEING NOTCHY EVEN WITH JUST 4 MILES ON IT. I CURRENTLY HAVE 2715 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE EXPERIENCED GRINDING IN THE TRANSMISSION IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR MAINLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN BELOW 65 DEGREES FARENHEIT OUT. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO FIRST AND SECOND AT TIMES BUT THE MAIN CAUSE FOR WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS THE GRINDING IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY TO BE EASY AND GO SLOW WITH SHIFTING IN THE MORNINGS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS COOLER. | |
