Even with the new upgraded 10r80 trans, I would stay away from it. I own a 2018 with that trans and after having two standard transmission Mustangs, I miss rowing my own gears.

I have about 70K miles on mine and I hav I have about 70K miles on mine and have not had a problem yet, but I'm afraid to do any spirited driving with it; not that I did anything more than what you describe. I believe in August of 2022 they came out with the updated parts that fixed the...

I'm on my 3rd Mustang, bought them all new, a 2011, 2012 and a 2018. The 2011 was a 5.0 manual, the 2012 was a V6 manual and the 2018 is a 5.0 automatic. I totaled the 2012 and then bought the V6; after a number of years I wanted the new improved 460 HP 5.0 so I bought the 2018. I got it in a...

I'm sure about 50% of the population has a different opinion than I do. If you like the MT82 transmission, by all means buy a Mustang with one in it. I have owned 2 Mustangs prior to the one I own with that transmission and I was not happy with it. They have improved it some, but the list of...

I have a 2018 GT Premium with PP1 and would like to buy a new GTwith the same features, but the price is outrageous. I may be able to justify it if they put a Tremec transmission in the car, but I'm not going to pay $60K and get a piece of crap MT82 trans. If Ford is going to charge premium...

I took mine off shortly after buying the car and put it in the basement, as the next guy may want it. I keep it next to the plastic cover that goes over the engine and the air compressor from the trunk to fix a flat. Buy yourself a space saver spare tire, and a wheel spacer if you have Brembo...

I dropped the pan at about 30K miles and changed the filter and any fluid that came out, around 7 quarts if I remember correctly. At abut 50K I did a drain and refill, about another 6 or 7 quarts. I don't trust dealers but at least you know they will put in the correct fluid. Before I changed...

I rarely use my paddle shifters but do use them on occasion. I mostly use them to downshift when I''m going up a steep hill as I do not want the engine in 9th or 10 gear even though it seems to be able to manage the hill without downshifting sometimes. And there are occasions when the trans...

Would you consider CA freeway driving stop-and-go driving? Just kidding, that's good to know, I feel better now. I don't beat on mine and changed the filter at 30K, and did a flush and fill around 55K, so it has been well taken care of.

I have read a lot of bad stuff about design problems with the 10R80, specifically CDF drum failure due to grooves being worn into it by the F clutches and a bushing that moves causing a loss of pressure. The newer transmissions have been redesigned to fix this, but I have a 2018, the first year...

I have a 2018 GT and just went out to look to see how thee windshild is attached. It does not appear that any part of the frame surrounds it, it looks like it sits over the frame and is glued into place. Now I have heard that the windshield is a structural part of the car, so it must have...

The copper side with the paralell ridges is the good side, that would be the right side on the top picture and the left side on the bottom picture. The other side had been burnt down by arcing, I would imagine. The two burnt sides touch each other, so one side was good and the other was bad...

Well I went medieval on the solenoid with a Dremil grinder so we could get a look at the contacts. They look pretty bad and was probably the problem. Unfortunately there is no way to put the solenoid back together after the damage I did to it. I have scoured the internet to look for a...

The solenoid is not meant be taken apart as they have crimped the metal ouside over the plastic inernal structure. I guess there is a chance I could pry all the crimped metal back to disemble it, but it may be more that I want to tackle. Perhaps tomorrow I will give it a try as even if I...

Thanks, after watching a lot of videos on bad starters that is pretty much what I came up with also. Unfortunately no one sells a solenoid for this starter, they make you purchase a new starter. I'm going to keep searching for one but if anyone out there knows where I can purchase a solenoid...

I changed my starter the other day and decided to tear it apart rather than get the core refund. I have a few pictures of the internal parts that could be bad, but none look really bad. The starter would crank slowly and then pick up speed, and always start the car. I have a 2018 GT 5.0 with...

I probably would never put that starter back in but the thought of only getting $25 for it just frustrates me. The new one costs $305 and to get $25 for the core, which can probably be rebuilt, just seems too low. I'm thinking I can call it a $25 investment towards my education of starters if...

I just replaced my starter with a genuine Ford one and can get about $25 if I return the old starter ($35 minus $10 for shipping). The starter still cranks but slowly. I can't find anyone that rebuilds them, or even find a kit where I can try to rebuild it myself. I'm thinking that it may...

Get a Multimeter and start checking if you have power at various locations. On my car the positive battery cable goes to what appears to be a junction block with cables going to the starter and various other places. I would start there and see if you get at 12+ volt reading with the positive...

globalindustrial.com is an industrial supplier and O rinsg are one of the products they sell. Go to their web page and do a search on Inventory stock # B2272251. These work perfectly on our drainplug, I have been using these since 2020 and never had a problem. The price I paid in 2020 was...
