Correct, kind of like the lady that sued Honda for false mileage claims on the civic. That judgement has likely paved the way for a larger class-action suit.
2012 GT500 2nd Gear Grinding Issues
- Thread starter redirocrt92
- Start date
I was told they do not have a fix and asked me to be patient. It looks to me like if the 2013 is fixed, then mine should have been fixed by now as well. I think I am going to take that video and those links to my attorney and see if he can point me in the right direction.
Good luck. The 5.0 guys tried that and it got them the big middle finger from NHTSSA/Ford.
The MT82 was the ONLY reason I sold my whippled 5.0. I wont get into a 11+ GT500 or 5.0 untill I have seen enough people not complain about them grinding or there is a TSB posted for the grinding besides Ford switching out the stupid fluid.

Does the '13 Mustang GT also have a new trans?
Mines a 2010, but you can see, and hear the GRIND!!!!!! Shit pisses me off!!!!

Same trans, different gear spread
Actually ford has fixed hudreds of the 5.0s trannys an there are tsb. So it actually helped the 5.0 guys that the nhtssa got involved. Now its time for.the 10-12 gt500 trannys that need the fix.
Yup she did win an Im sure there will be a class action for the rest.
Yes. They have fixed hundreds of them. Tell me how many of them rolled in to the dealership with mods on them??
I rolled in to the dealership with my 5.0 with my whipple installed to have them look at the notchy grinding tranny. They performed the TSB fluid change and tightened the flywheel bolts to spec ONLY because there were TSB's that said they HAD to.
Before I mentioned the TSB, they wanted to charge me to diagnose the issue.
After they performed both TSB's the car shifted EXACTALLY the same way it did befor the TSB's were performed. Ofcourse the dealership said the tranny was A-OK.
2000 miles later, They said they werent willing to replace the tranny because I had a Whipple installed.
Im just trying to show that Ford wont fix everyones MT82. Im sure if my car would have been bone stock, I wouldn't have had any issues with a tranny replacement.

I've had my 2011 for a week and I've already ran into this issue. I've got lots of warranty left on the car so I'm going to drive it more before taking it into a dealership. I have a bad feeling the ones close to me will just BS me. Hope I'm wrong. Guess I'll hold off modding until the issue is resolved.
Im in the same situation. The FE came out and I am waiting for a reply from Ford for a fix.
Whats been said that it has been fixed?
My 10 does it. I have it scheduled to be dropped off at the dealer on Monday for that and the rear end whine that is absolutely BRUTAL! The rear sounds like I have a whistle tip in the exhaust...
The Ford engineer in that video admits clearly that there "was" a problem and that it's been addressed in the 13. I guess we'll see.

Right around the 2:46 mark he starts referring to the past "1-2 shift" issues and how it's been corrected.

Sorry to here it was that big of an issue for ya..its a hit an miss on the fix for the modded 5.0. Mostly because ford sent out a tsb related to modding/tunning the 5.0s would void there drive line warrenty. But with the gt500 ford hasnt even had a fix for them which is the biggest issue an almost all the issues our on stock not modded cars.
My car is exactly the same 2012 GT500
Same issue for my 2012 with 2500 miles, has since i hit the 1000 mark. I can speed shift it and force it into 2nd, but if I don't hit it hard, it grinds and rejects the 1-2 shift. It did it before and after my mods.
