I'd like to tell everyone my brief story of the issues I have had and are having with my MT-82 transmission.
I ordered and recieved my 2013 Mustang GT, Track Pack, Leather Recaros, & Shaker Pro Soundsystem in November of 2012.
Sometime within the first 5k miles I started noticing an issue shifting into 4th gear whether it be underload, briskly, rev-matching from 5 to 4 on decel, etc. Basically any shifting circumstance beside putting around nice and easy. I perused the forums took it initially as something I would have to live with but eventually changed the trans oil at 11,500 mi after the problem didn't go away. At 13,100 I took the car into Ford where they decided to replace the transmission under warranty. The report said "Counter Shaft tooth chip and several drive gear ground..." I recieved a new transmission and was on my way again.
Fast forward a few thousand miles to now. The car has 18,600 mi and I'm yet again getting a similar scenario. This time the culprit is third gear. Keep in mind it's my daily driver, I have taken it to the drag strip once (on street tires), and the car has no power adders besides basic bolt ons. Once I noticed the issue I immediately took the car into Ford. After trying to tell me I wasn't pushing the clutch in far enough (despite having a tech reproduce the same problem immetidialy) they agree to replace the transmission again!
What I want is a car I can have fun with. Unfortunately, if Ford keeps replacing my transmission with the MT-82 I don't feel that's possible (at least with the current internals they are using). I have contacted the Ford customer hotline and started a case. Although I feel it will be almost completely impossible I'm going to try and talk to Ford about the possibility of a TR6060 swap. If anyone has a similar story or useful information that would be greatly appreciated. I'm a mechanical engineer and have requested to speak with either a regional service tech or engineer from Ford so that I can get a more straight forward issue.
Currently car as an MGW shifter installed.
