[QUOTE="FastRedPonyCar, post: 10802874, member: 12087"] It seems like only about half or a little more than half MT82 owners are having issues with it. I've got about 2500 miles on mine and (knock on wood) it's shifting great. 2nd gear does have a little more resistance when engaging than the rest of the gears but never grinding or anything that would indicate a problem... and it's only when shifting from 1st into 2nd.. downshifting from any other gear into 2nd is butter smooth. Maybe has something to do with the 1~2 shift synchros? I installed the barton shifter bracket the first week I had the car and noticed a big difference in the solid~ness of the shifter feel and the high rpm 2~3 shift was greatly improved. (before the bracket, I was always going from 2nd into 5th there are some pics in this thread but I have no idea where abouts they are.

Adam at Joe Heck suspects a weak shifter fork is the culprit. [url=http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2011-mustang-gt-tech/293597-2011-2012-getrag-mt-82-mustang-6-speed-transmission-internal-shift-linkage-problems.html]2011 2012 Getrag MT 82 Mustang 6 Speed transmission internal shift linkage problems - Ford Mustang Forums[/url] He machined a more durable piece and after rebuilding it (with all other stock parts as far as I can tell) they're reporting outstanding results after a track day. I think they used their shifter and shift bracket and firmer motor mounts but as far as I know, aside from the beefier 1/2 shift fork, everything else in the transmission is stock. [/QUOTE]
