In first and 2nd gear my transmission makes quite a bit of noise, anyone else have this issue? 3-6 are completly silent. I'm taking it to the dealer Wednesday but would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and how it was fixed. Also every now and then ill go to shift into a gear and it won't go in, I saw the tsb on this but read the fluid they add will shorten the life of the syncros, is this accurate? If so, should I leave the original fluid in it?

My gears are silent. I have 6K miles. I sometimes get a little crunchy action in 2nd and 3rd when the trans is cold. It can take quite a while to warm them up during Michigan winters.
Once things are up to temp, it's all good for me. It usually grinds on lower rpm shifts (when the trans is cold). Nothing super crunchy...just a normal Mustang manual trans crunch.
I've seen vids on Youtube about whiny trans gears. Don't know what to tell you about that.
I'm not doing the TSB yet, as I think that's for "high shift effort" and not really for crunchy-ness.

Shoulda' went A6. You're in for some hell, just search M6 problems. Good luck and don't let off your dealer. They are going to piss on your leg and tell you it's raining. Major issues with the 11-12' m6's.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd think 2x before sending a stranger on the internets any of my personal information. Why don't you PM him with your phone number so he can call you at work and give you the information there? Just wonderin'.

It's just you.
Jesus, what could possibly be done with the info that was requested? Wasn't like they were asking for SS or CC #'s.

Tranny issues
I took my car to the dealer on 5/5/11. I am having issues shifting in gears 1-3 and a slight whine from tranny or rear end. I bought my car used and it had a Roush shift ball on it. They told me that the aftermarket shifter was causing the shifting problem but I cant find a shifter on the Roush site only an apperance kit. Does a Roush shifter exist? If not, would having a different shift ball void the warranty on the shifter? They also said that the whine is from the factory installed 3.73 gears. The tech said that 3.73 will always whine at some speed and that he could adjust to have whine at different speed. Any suggestions?
