The clutch makes a cracking noise. When i shift between 1st and 3rd it can be difficult at times depending on the temperature. The symptoms are not consistent. *kb

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.

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

Manual Transmission
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…
