I have a PP car and it has the slight grind going into 3rd as well. I have to take it in to get the oil changed in another 1500 miles. If Ford will actually do something about it I will be sure and say something to the dealer so something can be done at the same time. This is really a bunch of shit I don't care to deal with all over again. I was one of the first people in the KC area to have the clutch, trans and clutch pedal problems on my 2011 GT, I took the car to the dealership and they tried to tell me that I just cant drive a manual trans, then all the bolts backed out of the pressure plate and the clutch basically exploded in the bell housing. Then the MT-82 shot craps in another 500 miles, then the pedal assembly had to be replaced right after the trans was fixed... all under 6k miles after I bought the car brand new. My brand new car was at the dealership for almost 2 months straight to have all of this replaced while I was paying on the car and driving a 6 banger charger. After everything was done the trans still had a whine. I am HOPING Ford will be able to fix this but based on my previous experiences, it seems like pulling teeth would be LOTS easier.

I say bring it in and get it fully diagnosed at your dealer, RSKTAKR. Then, PM me with your info so I can escalate this for you as well. Send me your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number so I can loop in the customer service manager for your area.

Just got told by my Service Manager that Ford hasn't released any parts for repair yet so they have to wait for a compete replacement. Cannot go after complete replacement until Wednesday (Some report timeline thing... IDK) - Sounds like complete unit is backordered... So - No ETA..
Said the transmission would be repairable if they had access to parts, But did mention lots of metal in the system.. So - No problems on the complete replacement - Just want it yesterday.
Today marks 1 week since drop off.
HOORAY!. :frusty:

Sorry to hear you're still without your Mustang. I don't have the PP, but my GT Premium MT82 had lots of metal inside (loose metal), so my dealer and Ford recommended replacement. This all happened within 2 - 3 days of my taking delivery. Ford told the dealer the transmission needed to be replaced. Then told the dealer they didn't have any transmissions. My dealer was very helpful and a couple weeks later, after much back and forth with Ford, they swapped an MT82 from a car they had on their lot into mine, just to get me back on the road. For whatever reason, MT82s are not available. I would have thought with '15 MY production winding down, the transmissions (and parts) would start trickling in...

I've updated your comments in the case notes, DiEzel. I see the CSM left you a voicemail. I recommend following up with him, and keeping him in the loop.

Well crap, this thread is making me worried now. I have what I would call a "bump" when I do the 2-3 shift. I don't consider it "grinding" but it is something that I feel all the time. I assumed it was a characteristic of the transmission. I guess it's time to head to the dealer and start getting this documented.

I've been skipping 3rd on cold starts. I've gotten some crunch gear changes but nothing that has been the typical grind .ive never be denied a gear by grinding, just a few bump grind entries.

Currently it is still awaiting Parts. My dealer told me there was no parts nor any complete transmission units to be had - was waiting on Ford to tell them what to do or to pull one from the lot..(This was Tuesday/Wednesday)
Spoke to Ford (William) yesterday, He informed me there ARE parts that are making their way to the dealer - Said he couldn't confirm whether or not my dealer is getting parts or what yet. But he would keep me updated... He also authorized a rental - But has ZERO ETA on when I could possibly have any idea of getting my car back.
My Dealer called me Today, Informed me they submitted more paperwork as requested by William and that they're doing as requested at this point. But no word on parts or anything.. I then asked about the authorized rental/loaner and was told that they would let me know if the loaner would return today...
As someone who has bled blue since he was a little boy, owns 3 other fords... I'm pretty disappointed and rather mad. Especially with the general "No one knows or has an ETA" answer... I'm trying to remain a calm human being about this, but man it's getting hard.

I recommend filing a BBB Auto Line Complaint. I don't know that it pushed Ford to take action in my case, but things seemed to move forward right after I filed. My dealer provided me a loaner from day 1, though. I had no issues with my dealer, at all.
800-955-5100 (M-F 9am to 5:30pm EST). I called and BBB started the process within a few minutes. They immediately notify Ford Motor Corporation, as well.

I appreciate that, But I am not to that point - And as far as my dealer goes and loaners.. They've never really had many from my knowledge, and I do not have the extended warranty, so no rental coverage.. Not to mention I know the GM rather well and a family member is a tech. I'm not too worried about them to be honest.. I guess the back and forth about parts and lack there of is what has me boggled/mad. No one really has an answer.
Honestly the stock shifter and stupid spring caused the most problems for me. Since I installed my Barton shifter the transmission shifts effortlessly. Before is was impossible to get third with any kind of speed. It usually ended up somewhere between the 1-2 gate.
I think the clutch lever spring is guilty of 2nd gear issues due to the fact (PP cars) you have no feel for the release when driving it normally you tend to shock the gear.
My car is going to Ford next week (3K miles) to have the fluids(Engine, trans, axle, brake fluid) changed per the owners manual for Track Day use. All Ford fluids (including blended factory fill oil) are going back in.
If you guys are in cool climates you really should let everything come up to temperature, I drive my car hard but I'm not hard on it.
I'll give the dealer some oil sample bottles when I bring it in so I have trend data ;)

For me second and third have some sort of gear nibble until the trans warms up when shifting. While I will eventually swap fluids its nothing major at this time. I've put in a white line transmission mount, a shifter energy suspension bushing, also removed the clutch helper spring, while these help reduce the nibble its still there but only until its warmed up.
