Vehicle was purchased 11/29/2013/ with 21851 miles on it . I questioned the functioning of my manual transmission within 2 days of delivery with problems such as notchiness in gear shifter / reverse, 1st, 2nd and grinding into 3rd gears. Vehicle sent to ford. I received the vehicle back on 12/02/13, 25978 miles; was told the vehicle was repaired under ford tsb- transmission fluid was replaced. The vehicle did present with some improvement. January 11 2013, returned the vehicle back to ford/ problems again with manual transmission. I experienced gears grinding from park position in attempt to shift gears from reverse to 1st to 2nd, major grind from 3rd to 4th gears. Furthermore; due to awkwardness of the displacement of the clutch pedal ( I am 5'3 ) the vehicle will only function when the clutch pedal is displaced completely down to the floor board which makes my safety vulnerable considering I have to electronically ( electric seats) place my seat forward resulting in body positioned too close to proximity of the steering wheel with my knees located approximately 1 to 2 inches from the dash board. Upon exiting the vehicle, the seat must be positioned backwards in order to exit .transmission issues was addressed by ford/ extensive transmission work was performed on the vehicle. Again the vehicle was in ford's shop from 1/11/14 to 3/10/2014...almost 8 weeks!!. June 28, 2014 approximately 32300 miles on it, my vehicle is once again back to ford due to notchiness of reverse, first, second and third gears/ close seating issues addressed.

Vehicle is difficult ( feels notchy ) to shift gears between first and second gears. Ambient temperature is not a factor. The problem is constant regardless to outside temperatures. Occasionally gears grind when shifting at higher rpms. Vehicle does not seem to grab into gear completely one gears are shifted from first through third gears. In addition too: vehicle is difficult to steer/ vehicle seems to drift to the left side of roadway.

Getting on turnpike I went through the gear when I went into it grind real bad. Also down shifting it would grind.it was okay in all the other gears. Also when first driven it was hard to shift until trans warms up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford mustang. The contact was driving approximately 10 MPH when a grinding noise was heard from the vehicle. In addition, there was a delayed response from the manual transmission when shifting into second or third gear. The failure recurred when driving between 10-30 MPH. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the old transmission fluid was removed and replaced with a higher grade. The failure continued to recur. There was a technical service bulletin under the federal safety agency action number: 1003914 (power train: manual transmission) that was possibly related to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 10.

2011 shelby gt500 - brought this car in for grinding into 2nd gear (all other gears seem fine..at the moment). Was told that all ford would do is replace 2nd gear, which they did and was also told that it was our driving and replacing 2nd gear is all that they would do. We were told by the regional rep and engineer that...quoted - "we have to have the clutch all the way down to the floor before shifting (engaged). The reason it will grind between 1st and 2nd and not into the other gears is because vehicle has bigger jump in RPM from 1st to 2nd. Vehicle is shifting correctly as designed.". Totally disagree...very upsetting since it is their flagship car and am told this is all they will do.

When shifting from 1st to 2nd gear transmission will not shift, it must be force into 2nd gear. Also 5th gear grinds at normal highway speeds. Vehicle will not shift into reverse unless engine is off, must shift to reverse, start engine and then vehicle will move in reverse. While driving there is no vibration, nor whinning noises. Once vehicle has been shut down and engine is cold, can not shift into 1st gear, after vehicle has set over night, can only place into 1st gear before startup.

The transmission displays grinding noises and difficulty upshifting from 2nd to 3rd or 4th to 5th when the clutch is pressed all the way down. I have issues getting car into 1st gear from neutral at a red light sometimes. Transmission will not allow me to go into reverse when clutch is pushed down to floor during cold starts. Transmission feels and sounds clunky when shifting into all gears. This is what happens when we have our transmissions made in china. Skip shift is not causing damaged synchros, broken shift forks and shattered gear teeth inside the numerous failed mt82's; low quality components and materials is causing it.

I have a 2011 ford mustang shelby gt500 and I was waiting at a stop light finally I had a clear shot to go I started to go turning left went to shift it in 2nd gear and it would not go into 2nd it just grinded for a few seconds then went into gear seconds before a car was coming and slammed on its brakes barley hitting me. Then anytime and everytime I merge into traffic getting on the highway shifting from 4th to 5th gear my 5th gear grinds or disappears and I sometimes get ran off the high one time I almost got rearended. My reverse and 5th gear were grinding bad around 1700 miles brought it to ford they replaced 5th reverse forks and syncros still didn't solve the problem still does it today at 2700 miles. Please help me thanks.

Purchased new 2011 mustang gt. Been having problems with gears being very notchy and difficult to shift. I have had 2 accounts where I was nearly rearended while coming off a yield due to the fact that 4th gear would not shift in place. 4th gear consistently locks at high RPM, 5th gear grinds, and all gears are hard to manage in below 60 degree temperatures. It has been at the dealership for a month and a half, got it back and within 2 weeks the same problems arose. Currently back at the dealership. Ford has done nothing to resolve this recurring issue.
