Hi everyone. I am having problems with my 2012 Boss 302's gearbox. After a drive up a hill using only 3rd and 4th, I was unable to to get into 5th with out a hideous crunch. Only slowing to 40km/hr was I able to engage 5th. The car has only 6000km on it.
From what I have been reading the MT82 is rated at 382 Ft/lbs of torque (can anyone confirm?). That seems awfully close to the boss torque numbers. So if it was a slow Monday in China the getrag MT82 comes out at 378 Ft/lbs and fails??
I find the car absolutely fabulous except for the fact the gearbox stinks. I have a MGW shifter on the way but not sure that is going to do anything (ordered it before the 5th gear crunch).
Is the only real solution a Tremec T56 magnum?? But that means Clutch, drive shaft etc an some US$5000 extra. How could Ford make some thing so good and then stick a weak gearbox on it???
