I have been having the M/T's on the car since it had 200 miles on it. over 40 passes and still doing good. but you never know next pass might not be so lucky.

what size tire at the track?

im really beginning to think that ford should eat the cost and put in the gt500 transmissions for all of us 6 speeds

That would be sweet :beer:

heavier trans, worse gear ratios, still has shifting problems...

everyone keeps saying this even though the TR6060 has nearly the same grinding and clutch issues as the MT82. they don't pop up as much on the newer GT500s, but it still doesn't look like it's been completely resolved.
that aside, lets not forget that this is a mustang GT. there hasn't been one(forum reported) failure at a drag strip with this transmission and people are running 10s. did everyone forget about the T5/T45/T3650 all of a sudden? once this grinding issue is patched up, this trans will be fine.

Actually the 1-2 shift grind is way more common on the 2010-2011 GT500s with the new clutch. Its one of the main reasons I sold my 2010 GT500, what good is a car you have to granny shift into second and Ford refused to do anything about it.

The older GT500s didnt seem to have the 1-2 issues but they had a lot of clutch problems.

At what point are axle shafts necessary?
