[QUOTE="earlycobra, post: 12107261, member: 139881"] Long story on mine, as I'm going through issues with Ford right now I feel the masses need to voice up. Fifth gear was burnt out completely on my car with 27 miles on it (IE not even double-clutching would prevent grinding). Upset, but having known there could be issues, I took the car back and kept a level head. After a Cost-Cap analysis, they determined rebuilding was the best option (FOR THEM). I explained that a syncrho doesn't burn out on it's own, in 27 miles without either insane driving (and not using the clutch while shifting) or, more likely, something else was at fault and caused it to go out. They rebuilt anyway. Since then, the car has popped out of first at least once a day, sometimes popping out of reverse too. I own 10 mustangs, and have owned almost 40. It ain't my first rodeo, and I've been raising hell to just have it replaced. So far, Ford has offered no help. The dealer has to replicate the problem, then probably pull the trans and inspect. The deal is that it has already been in the shop 13 days, and to replicate, tear-down, and inspect could be another two weeks. I love my car, I want to have a Boss, I'm fine if they fix this one properly. But like you, I'm a bit frustrated with bandaging a bad trans. [/QUOTE]
