yep, cant wait to see the nothing that comes out of this. So what u think there are 10,000 people? get over it man.
:lol:
Exactly what you said about the NHTSA launching an investigation.
How did that prediction work out for you? So far you're 0-1.
Guys it's gotta be the manufacturing that's effing them up. Mine has 4400+ miles and they include many wide open throttle shifts. It works great. Downshifts are perfect every time.
NO GEAR WHINE. I don't care how you shift it has nothing to do with gear whine. If you have it, insist on a new transmission or at the very least insist on driving with the service mgr in a new car with no whine. Mine can have a notchy shift or two while warming up. Once warm it's OUTSTANDING especially at WOT or at higher RPM's. Once warm, the higher the RPM and the faster the shift, the better it seams to work.
Just my two cents, but there are a lot of cars that work very well out there. Mine was built in May if that helps.
Anyone looking at one of these cars should just wait for a good used one with 5k miles. By then you'll know exactly how it's going to shift. Most of the threads I've read show problems before that.
I hope Ford puts a good "recovery plan" in place for those with problems. If the investigation is the catalyst for a good plan/ext warranty then so be it.

You're close by... You should check out mine.
they will get this fixed! the car is still the best mustang i have ever owned ,,,hands down!!and the power for just a few mods,,,you could not get this no where else...tranny whine and all i love the 5.0
Now I personally don't have any issues with my car. It has only 1700 miles on it so far. But i do know people that have had issues with their cars. I have personally driven their car and let them drive mine. There are real problems on some of these cars that are not related to not knowing how to drive a stick. You don't have problems with yours...GREAT!! This isn't your thread so shut the ***k up!! Your an annoying bastard for sure...
Stop polluting these threads for those that want to keep up on the issues that others ARE having....

This is similar to my thinking. My transmission shifts great with just the occasional clunk from 1st to 2nd and downshifting from 6th to 5th takes a little more effort to get into gear than the rest but it never doesn't go in.
I think that you either get a good transmission and it just works right or you get one that kills itself within a month or 2 of driving and it's just a luck of the draw type thing. I know 2 guys local that have MT82's that are acting up. One is really bad but the other is tolerable enough that he's waiting patiently for a fix and just dealing with it. 4 other guys I know though with MT82's, they all are pretty much trouble free only with the ever so slight clunk to 2nd like mine is doing.
I've accepted teh fact that the way mine performs is about as good as an MT82 owner can ask for. I've got 3 quarts of redline fluid though I'm planning on putting in whenever there's an opening at my buddy's shop so I can use his lift.
This was the conclusion many at the AFM thread had as well. UNTIL transmissions started to get rebuilt and replaced.... And the issues came right back. In fact, of the thousands of posts there... NOT A SINGLE OWNER HAS REPORTED THEIR CAR FIXED.
There are a number of engineers posting to that site questioning whether there may be a motor/tranny alignment issue as so many of the invoices posted by owners list damaged pilot bearings.

Overnight, the following new reports were submitted to the NHTSA. It appears some service departments are submitting reports on behalf of customers now that the investigation is under way:

nhtsa is worried about grinding? Sounds like a few problems and alot of people that cant drive stick or understand how it works.
If this were true, it would take the admins 3 seconds to find out as all IPs are logged. So, perhaps an admin can chime in on this or put it to rest?
what do you mean get over it?! i spent 30K plus and just because a couple of people dont have issues isnt enough to say forget about it. Seeing how its been pushed before the BBB, government and etc. this is a bigger problem. I myself dont have an issue other then tranny whining (just started) and the cold shift issue but to say get over it is a jerk off comment.
ShadowStang has been spreading this nonsense all over every mustang forum for months. He can't handle hearing the truth about these problems and is on a campaign to discredit people reporting problems with their cars. This is nothing compared to the hate he spews on other forums.
Go ahead moderators... look me up... check my IP.
Between the NHTSA, the ABC Story, and now this "screen-name-gate" he's what, 0-3?
Here's a thought: why not start your OWN thread instead of trolling these. We're upset enough about our car problems. We don't need folks like you making it worse.

Just thought I would drop in here and add some real facts on the issue; I am getting my THIRD transmission right now....
Supposedly this transmission has different gears(stated both the FSE and an Executive Liaison); we'll see.
Go ahead, state it's my driving, but I also have had a 2010 that didn't act this way nor any of my other manual vehicles; this is a GETRAG/Ford problem and there is no denying that.

Then why doesnt MY car have any issues with the trans?
Uhhhh you got lucky? Not sure why I answered that, as it was obviously rhetorical, but why are folks like you so quick to blame everything else when you have no real facts to point you away from the tranny being the issue???
Sic i havent had any issues since day one but im beginning to feel it get notchier as well as it whines bad now. I got a MGW shifter on the way soon so lets see if that helps. Also pressure plate bolts backing out is not a users issue thats a manufactures issue. Ive said this since day one that i think the clutches are the issues with the trans and maybe a handful of cars have syncro issues, but its mainly the crappy clutch they installed thats the issue
