Transmission is junk and dealer is a moron.

[Bloodykisses]

So I had the car checked at the dealer for crappy shifting last week. After going round and round they updated the shifter, checked fluid and found nothing.last year they rebuilt 5th gear. They also stripped the shifter knob off of it and left a block of wood between the engine and chassis about and inch from the serpentine belt. I get the car back Wednesday and it's feeling pretty good. Last night, after about 175 miles of driving issues arise. There's a hard clunking when letting off the clutch from a stop and accelerating, the heat coming from the center console is so hot I had to ride with the windows open and it made my change almost unable to pick up with bare hands. The issue won't show itself in reverse and still does it even if you let the clutch out and come to a slow roll then accelerate. Here's the videos....

I have six or seven videos ready to show the dealer Monday morning. They've been nothing but a pain and the tech tried to tell me my transmission is the same as the GT500, ( yeah he is the guy rebuilding them ). They also told me the drained the fluid and it looked perfect. I had a transmission shop drain it today and these are the photos I got of the fluid.



Not sure what's up but I have just about had it with the car and the dealer.

Quick update; as of today they dealer told me it's not their problem, take it somewhere else. I need a good competent dealer in NY, MA,CT etc that can actually work on the car.

I had a similar issue with my MT-82. My issue was the fifth gear synchro, I ended up switching dealerships and they replaced the entire unit...... 3 months later

First dealership told me it was the fluid..... lol

they sure are if you only count reverse and the 6 forward gears they each have.


sounds like you need to get in touch with the regional rep after you find a competent dealer to help resolve your issues.

Tech says the tranny is the same as a TR6060? lol...find a new dealership

I lost my 5th gear synchro as well. Final straw. Its a flawed design with sketchy manufacturing (China). Go get a Tremec and discover what real shifting is meant to be.

I'd like to get a tremec over a winter but car is still stock and in warranty. It was rebuilt and ok up until a few weeks ago, still goes into gears, just the video shows the main issue now. I need to find a good dealer and that's the problem at hand.

There is a Ford Service person that posts on here sometimes to. Ashley I believe. Maybe you can search and PM her. Good way to jump above the dealer.

I say take it to Tasca Ford in Conn. if you are able to, they should fix your problem right the first time.

I've heard of them twice, I'm calling tomorrow.

Thank you for the mention, Jabooh1! ;-)

Be sure to keep your CSM involved, Bloodykisses. Let me know what they say.

Tasca in Conn or Langway Ford in Auburn MA. Langway deals with a few Boss Mustangs have a highly trained tech on site.

My transmission used to cook my leg through the tunnel, it wasnt so bad i had to have the window down, but it was bad. Switched to amsoil synchromesh and the thing runs cooler and shifts better, amazing the difference fluid makes. Also, the "clunk," my moms track pack does it, my GT does it... i think its just a noisy transmission, or partially how you drive, because i feel my mother in her car does it far more often than i do in mine.

I've heard of them twice, I'm calling tomorrow.

If you have any issues there please let me know, I don't work directly for those two stores but I do work directly for Bob Tasca III and he's all about customer service.

It always takes a few dealers to find the right one
