I have to beg to differ with you here. The mgws rear shifter brace does limit the amount the shifter/ trans can move with respect to the body. Keep in my since both are moving with different amplitude a completely stiff piece would Not be ideal. In my opinion the shifter bracket is not the...

While I appreciate your input I already have an MGW shifter installed. In my opinion that's the BEST option when it comes to installing an aftermarket shifter/bracket. This discussion is more surrounding the internal portion of the tranmission. The shifter and bracket were a huge money...

5-8-14 Update For any of those interested my car is finished. I was told the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate all were in good condition but metallic pieces were noticed when the trans fluid were changed. I have had an overall good time dealing with Ford Service and customer relations...

UPDATE Car is still at the dealership in SoCal. Of the two mechanics they had who can replace the MT-82 one was in training and unavailable. Hopefully the car should be ready sometime next week. I spoke to a regional service rep from Ford. I wasn't extremely pleased with our...

Thanks I believe I sent you a PM. I only rarely use the forums so my appologies if it came through funny.

What frustrates me the most is the fact the transmission proved to be the weak link. Knowing how many Mustang owners drive their cars hard I can only imagine the issues. I'd consider myself the occasional weekend warrior when it comes to the level of abuse the car sees (which is very minimal)...

TT5.0ca I'm sorry to hear that. Where are you located? I was told by my local dealer in SoCal that this is one of the only manual 5.0s they have seen. It seems most people buy automatics due to traffic and whatnot. It's probably working to my advantage they don't have a ton of people with...

They were surprisingly much quicker this time around. I was just told today the parts are shipping and will be in next week. The first time around I got some flack about having the MGW shifter installed. I explained to them the aftermarket shifter should not affect movement inside the...

Could someone from Ford Service please comment on the current situation regarding the MT-82's. My 2013 is having the tranmission replaced for the second time. I was told "We haven't seen this failure before... etc. BS" What, if anything, is being done to correct this problem? I'm beginning...

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...

Thanks for the reply. I will surely hit you up once I move out there. Keep your ears open if possible for any reputable shops in the area able to "bend the rules." I really don't plan on changing my headers back to the stock manifolds. I bought the car to drive it and drive it hard. Coming...

I saw your post asking someone about mufflers who was living in SoCal and I almost jumped into that thread on the spot. Thanks for replying. To be honest with you I definitely am not reinstalling stock manifolds. The American Racing ones were too damn expensive and not having a lift in my new...

So work has me moving from PA to sunny Southern California this June. That means my current set up on my track pack '13 (1-7/8"American Racing Long Tubes, 3" Catted X Pipe, JLT CAI, and 93 octane dyno tune) isn't going to fly. First, California only seems to have 91 at the pump which is a...

Hello everyone. My '13 GT track pack currently has a JLT intake + tune & Pype's Pype Bomb axle back. ARH 1 7/8" long tubes and a catted x pipe should be going on this weekend as well as a dyno tune and I was curious if anyone is running long tubes with that axle back. I didn't have any luck...

I just picked up my 2013 5.0 6 speed and have similar issues. It isn't so much a noise or grinding but it doesn't like a quick 2-3 shift. As far as clunkiness or notchiness when its cold I definitely notice that and I am in 30-40F temperatures currently. From my understanding a lot of the...

I didn't ask him. In my initial email I asked whether it was a coolant issue or a lean condition. I am assuming (but I have no proof) that while it couldn't hurt this is a fueling issue. To an extent an engine will make more power running leaner then 14.7:1 AFR. For emissions the engine will...

I did some more research and spoke with my tuner about the overheating cylinder issues which lead to ring failure, scoring of the cylinder walls, and invetibaly cancelling the extension you were planning on putting on your house hah. My initial thoughts were that it was either a cooling issue...

I am actually very interested on what people have to say to this as well. I ran a Vortech V2 on my previous Mustang and liked it alot. The downside on the 2V was it didn't rev as freely and therefore it always seemed you had to wind it out far to have fun. Being that the 5.0 has a broader...

Yea the #'s 2 and 8 cylinder problems scare me. A friend of a friend works for Ford and I need to speak with him to get some more information on the issue. As far as I know Ford did away with the oil jet piston coolers for '13 which definitely won't help the issue. I don't plan on throwing a...

Well here's the plan. I would say in general your average owner does some basic performance upgrades (CAI, catback, tune, TB, etc.) and a few cosmetic ones. Basic bolt ons are all fine and good but I want to get a lot more out of this car and I don't want to install stuff that I will need to...
