Was turning left at approximately 35 mph to get onto hwy on ramp. Had clutch in on manual transmission and stick in "out of gear" position during turn in anticipation of dropping to lower gear to gain acceleration. Was unable to put stick into 5th gear after three attempts - seemed "locked out" of gear. No grinding noises like the clutch wasn't in; just like the gear slot didn't exist. I released the clutch and…

I was driving to california to visit my good friend [xxx]. I was at a stop light trying to turn left and i heard a crunch or whine. It's probably from my car or my wife is munching on a oreo or whining again. Try my hardest to put in gear and i was locked out of 2nd and 3rd gear. Someone driving a crappy titan almost rear ended me because of that. This mt82 transmission is total junk, i wish i bought a automatic…

6 spd manual transmission, unable to upshift to 3rd gear around 4000 rpm. Had to wait until the rpms came down below 2000 before it would go into 3rd. Was accelerating from an on ramp and trying to merge with the 65 mph+ traffic. Had to ride the shoulder for a bit until the transmission would let me shift. Not safe at all. *kb

I have a 2012 mustang with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. More than once while making a turn i found myself going to slow for second gear and when trying to go to first gear i am locked out. So i am forced to either unexpectedly slow down to a near stop to go into first which could lead to a accident, or go to second and hope i don't…

The check engine light care on the second week i bought the car, it stayed on for a day then went away , i figured it way bad gas, but i may have been wrong. The transmission has been very notchy when shifting from first to second gear ever since i purchased the car. Normally this…

This vehicle is sometimes difficult to shift into gear. Shifting into reverse is a challenge requiring unusually high effort to engage push-down mechanism. Shifting into 1st from standstill is usually difficult and notchy, sometimes requiring me to do it all over again, even when i am blocking traffic. 1st-2nd shifting is sometimes uncertain as is 2-3, 3-4. Downshifting into 3rd and 2nd grinds sometimes. Clutch…

Newly purchased 2012 mustang coupe v6 has unusual trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gears on the 6 speed manual transmission.. The shifting is not smooth, and feels notched as you slide it into place. Incident occurs daily, and concerns are rising for premature wear on the transmission. Currently inquiries have been made with the dealership, but no action has been taken. *kb

2012 mustang gt 5.0 build 2/11. Shifting into 2nd gear has a little grind but feels better or completely goes away as the car warms up, also when turning shifting from 1st to 2nd has a grind no matter if the car is warmed up or not. I have also been locked out of 3rd gear under acceleration. This appears to be a safety concern as i have to deal with an inconsistent transmission. *tr

2012 ford mustang boss 302 with 4500 miles on the car. The clutch pedal sticks to the floor at high rpm only on the 3-4 shift. The pedal just hangs making it impossible to get the car into any gear until the rpms fall and then the clutch pedal will suddenly spring back to the fully released position with an audible sucking sound. I took the car to the dealer and they claim to not be able to replicate the issue.…

I own a 2012 mustang gt with manual transmission. The car has exhibited very rough shifting about a week after purchase. Additionally the clutch and drivetrain are very noisy - lot's of clangs and seemingly loose parts. The car will pop out of gear occasionally when in 1st. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is sometimes smooth, sometimes very rough and sometimes grinds. Attempting to shift into 2nd when making a left hand…

2012 mustang v6 manual 6 speed transmission. Hard to shift into 1st gear. Stopped at a red light on pch and topanga canyon with my 3 year old in a baby daughter in the baby seat in the back behind me. I saw a driver behind me coming in too fast. I started prepping if i had to move forward into the intersection that had no traffic just in case. Would not shift into 1st gear no matter what i tried. Quickly i shifted…

June, 2012 (2012 not a dropdown option). I currently own a 2012 mustang rtr, this was purchased this year in june with 300 miles on the odometer. I experienced intermittent engagement problems with the transmission with gears 1-3 either upshifting or downshifting pretty much out of the gate. What happens is the gears fail to completely synchronize with the clutch in, resulting in anything from a partial lock-in,…

Brand new 2012 ford mustang boss 302, 5.0l, mt82 6-spd transmission. My understanding is this car has a revised clutch mechanism vs. The 2011 model year. Regardless, i've begun to experience the same issues 2011 model year owners report. I've owned the car less than two weeks and with less than 200 miles on the car at a stop light the transmission failed to engage into first gear fully. This results in a grinding…

I currently drive a 2012 ford mustang gt coupe (this site will not let me select a 2012 mustang from the drop down menu, only 2011), purchased 3/11/11. It is currently experiencing a "clutch stay out" problem. It is a six speed manual transmission. When shifting from first to second gear at high rpm, the clutch will not release for the shift until the rpms fall back below a certain level. I am unsure if this holds…
