2019 mt-82 mustang gt.
My friend's car. He got it a few months ago and recently we did a ported 18 mani, 350 tb, e85, and pmas intake along with a tune. Transmission decided the extra bump in power was too much...
I don't know much about manuals so I hope I can explain this correctly. Clutch doesn't fully disengage with the clutch pedal pushed all the way in (Clutch in, give revs in 1st gear, car starts to creep). Transmission hates the 3rd to 4th shift and grinds if you are about ~5k rpm or higher no matter the throttle.
Before the mods the transmission didn't like going into reverse (had to put your full weight into it sometimes to get it in), and if you were stopped and started rowing through gears the car would pretend like it was a 5 speed and not even seem like it had a 6th gear. Once you started driving though 6th gear would re-appear and would let you shift into it fine. The transmission also didn't like going into first (had to push then push again to get it fully in gear) but not anywhere near as hard as reverse.
As far as I know the problems he had before the mods have existed since he bought the car. Idk why he didn't question it more when he was buying... Also signs the car was previously modified (I have the warranty repair information and one of the techs wrote something about it being tuned).
Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you!
