Manual Transmission
Excessive vibration during deceleration - specifically when letting off the accelerator, but not pressing the brakes. The vibration is strong enough to vibrate the center console and the manual transmission shift lever. The concern is that this excessive vibration could damage parts or loosen components, eventually resulting in a complete transmission or driveline failure. This occurs every time the car is driven…

Our 2011 mustang gt with 6-speed manual transmission has a terrible notchy shifter that i've complained about 2 times to my dealer. The first time they replaced the clutch, and the second time they replaced the transmission fluid according to a tsb from ford. I read the tsb online and it says it's for cars with difficult shifting in cold temperatures (which isn't my issue) but they insisted this would fix it.…

I am intermittently unable to shift into 1st 2nd and now 3rd gear. Several people have almost rear ended me when i could not get the car into 1st gear after stopping at a red light. This issue is potentially a serious safety issue if someone were to be in a situation where they needed to move their car quickly and could not get the car in gear to move. The car also has a vibration when running between 2500-3000 rpm.…

2011 ford mustang gt. My wife and i were almost killed last night in this car. I was merging onto the freeway quickly into an opening and shifted 1-2 and then was unable to shift into 3rd gear. I tried to shift back down into 2nd gear and it was impossible. By the time i was able to get into any gear (4th) we had slowed so much cars behind me came screeching to a halt and i thought we were going to get rear ended.…

Rough and hard shifting in 2011 mustang gt manual transmission. Experiencing rough shifting in 1st gear and hard shifting in 2nd gear with grind sometimes. Almost got rear ended recently since i couldn't shift into 2nd gear in three attempts at a traffic signal. The reverse gear is also a problem. Requires pushing down to engage into reverse but sometimes pops into 1st instead of reverse and moves in the other…

I had an issue today that was dangerous and had potential to cause an accident. My car's shift lever became stuck and wouldn't go into gear and i had to force it back to the neutral position while coming to a stop light.. The manual transmission in my 2011 ford mustang gt has been whining and grinding gears since the clutch was replaced due to a design flaw (only to get the exact same clutch assembly), and will be…

I was unable to engage 2nd or 3rd gear while in heavy traffic and the shifter grinded while going into 4th gear. The lever was able to be moved back into 2nd and 3rd after but would occasionally grind just as it did for 4th gear. This has happened on more than a few occasions and ford has as of yet been unwilling to properly address the issue. This feels like a safety risk for the simple fact that the car has issues…

Vehicle transmission refuses to go in to reverse at times. Also grinds everytime while shifting in to 2nd gear from 1st gear, mainly while turning corners but also when going in a straight line. Transmissions performance does not improve after coming to normal operating temperature. Transmission is clunky and just does not shift properly. Not smooth, not new car like. *tr

I have been experiencing intermittent transmission problems since i bought my 2011 mustang v6 equipped with a mt82 manual transmission. At first the car would resist shifting into 1st gear while fully stopped, even with the clutch pressed to the floor. Soon after 2nd gear began resisting shifts and i had occasional "lock-outs" where it would not go into 2nd gear frequently while turning left. When this happens i had…

Manual Transmission
Occasional and sometimes severe shudder/vibration when downshifting, particularly when going down hill, felt throughout the car, seat and shifter. When it happens, it feels like the vibration is in the drivetrain area. Seems like it always happens above 40mph. The shudder/vibration closely resembles going over rumble strips. It can be unnerving as it feels like something is going wrong with the car! I have read…
