My 2011 mustang joined the list of broken 6 speed manual cars. Will not shift into 5 gear causing a stall at 45mph or skip a gear and thats saying it lets you have 3rd gear. This problem is so bad that ford is paying for rent cars when they don't have to. I've already traded 1 2011 mustang in for for this one with both having transmisson having issues at 12,000 miles. This is becoming a bad joke of a car to say the…

While driving my 2011 ford mustang gt, the manual transmission would not allow me to shift into 3rd or 4th gear. I was turning left into an intersection and was unable to power the vehicle to safely make the turn. After making the vehicle come to a nearly complete stop, i was able to shift into second and get out of the way of oncoming traffic. Luckily the traffic was extra far away or else i wouldn't have had the…

Anytime the engine is rotating over 4000 rpm's the 6 speed manual transmission will randomly be blocked from going into gear(any gear), leaving the vehicle in a neutral state and unable to accelerate like it has stalled. I am currently driving this car, but i do not drive it like i would like to, i have to be extremely careful not to pull out in front of anyone. This is easily duplicated, and to me it feels like the…

On a [redacted], speed limit 45 mph. Bus was pulled over in the right lane , slowed down to about 30 mph, an appropriate gap in traffic was coming up. Went to put car into 3rd gear after rev matching and 3rd gear was locked out. Had to swerve back behind the bus and slam on the breaks. This is not the first time a gear has been locked out and caused me to pull over onto the side of the road or shoulder. *kb

2011 v6 mustang with mt-82 that has about 15k miles on it. It has been notchy in 1st-3rd since the first few hundred miles, and during cold weather is very hard to get into 2nd gear without grinding and popping back out for the first few shifts of the morning. Most disconcerting when my 2nd turn of the day is through a busy 4 lane intersection and it pops out in the intersection. I have started not shifting out of…

2011 ford mustang 3.6l ,6speed manual transmission. 1st and 2nd gear is hard to shift into, especially in the mornings. I have to come to almost a complete stop and let the rpms drop down to almost a idle before shifting into 2nd. If i didn't do that and drove it normal 2nd gear would "rake" but i love my mustang and would never do anything to cause damage to it. I just want the issue resolved. *kb

Going on 10,000 miles on 2011 mustang gt with manual 6-spd. At first showed very notchy shifting, and gears would grind with clutch depressed completely when cold. Problem went away once the transmission warmed up. Took it in to ford dealer, they changed the transmission fluid, now you can feel a vibration and whirr/grinding noise sometimes in 1st-3rd. Extremely notchy now, will frequently not engage a gear if under…

Transmission grinds 1-2, 2-3,3-4 shifts intermittently. Occasionally locked out of gears. Transmission rebuilt at ford dealer only to have the problem return. After my transmission was rebuilt it shifted nicely for about a month. Now it is beginning to grind again and today i was locked out of second gear and third gear. I was leaving a light on a hill in first gear, went to shift into second and couldn't engage it…

During hard acceleration, with clutch fully depressed and foot off the gas, cannot shift into second and sometimes third gear. Must skip directly to 4th. This occurs even under full acceleration, but not during easy acceleration. Have had numerous close calls because of the inability to quickly shift to second or third. Also had issues shifting from second to third under hard acceleration. *tr

Car: 2011 mustang v6 with manual transmission miles: 3600 the problem: the gear shift is very notchy and rough, especially from 1-2 and 2-3. There have been times when i wanted to make a left turn at a light and mistakenly gone into third gear from neutral because the gear refuses to go into 1 easily. So i end up not having enough acceleration to beat oncoming traffic. I have almost had three crashes this way. Other…

During the first 5 minutes of driving (before the car has had a chance to reach its operating temperature), the transmission grinds when shifting from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 2nd to 3rd. Today while making a right turn, the car would not shift into 2nd gear or back into 1st leaving me coasting for several seconds while trying to resolve the situation. Finally i skipped into 4th gear and accelerated much slower than…

I own a 2011 mustang gt with the mt-82 transmission. I've owned this car for 10 months and have experienced very unusual shifting behavior for the entire duration of owning this car. The best way to describe the shifting action is that it is really notchy, especially between first and second gears and it sometimes takes quite a bit of effort to get the car to go into any gear. Note that this happens no matter the…

Since the car has been in my possession, 3rd gear has always had issues. It grinds from time to time, and the transmission pushes me out of 3rd gear when my foot is completely down on the clutch. It has also developed an increasingly loud whining noise throughout all the gears while accelerating. The shifts when cold are rough, doesn't feel as it should. *tr

Here's what i'm experiencing. 1. Clutch pedal sticks to floor at higher rpm shifts (5000 plus) and will not release until rpm has lowered to less than 3500 rpm. Doesn?t matter what gear i?m shifting into. 2. I was locked into 2nd gear when clutch pedal was stuck to floor. The shifter would not allow me to pull out of 2nd to go to 3rd until i slowed down (less than 3500 rpm) and clutch released. Then once i pushed…

Loud whine from under hood area, possibly mt82 manual transmission, heard from 2.5k-3.5k rpms and in gears one to four when up shifting. Whine only heard when car is in motion. Whine is not heard when in reverse gear. Clunking noise can sometimes be heard with 1st to 2nd up shift and is somewhat difficult to shift at times. Engagement of gears can be audibly heard and 'felt' in the drivers seat during the rough 1st…

Multiple issues with the mt-82 transmission. First one failed within a block from dealership, the car was missing a 2nd gear. Each time the 2nd gear was engaged during acceleration, the gear would pop out to neutral. Very dangerous if in traffic and hills. Transmission replaced only to have serious grinding issues in 2nd gear. Fluid swap done, grinding worse in 2nd-4th gears. 2nd gear lockout in left turn at 45…
