I am still having some issues with my 2015 MT-82 (w/ Ford Racing Short Shifter).
It was 85 degrees today, and after driving to work (at a normal pace/RPMs), my shifter gets so sticky and hard to shift that it really takes the fun out of rowing my own gears, as soon as it gets some heat in it.
I have long tube headers, high flows cats, and a cat back that is essentially without any heat shielding between the exhaust and transmission.
Has anyone either fitted a cooler to the MT-82, or made a heat shield from the exhaust/headers? Has anyone had a similar experience when the transmission gets hot?
I put new fluid into the transmission (Synchroshift II), and it helped a little bit, no doubt. But my fluid is only two weeks old and now that it's getting hotter outside, it's getting stiff pretty quickly.
I have a bad feeling that something is broken inside the transmission, and I will end up having it torn apart, or replaced to make the car happy again. I've been pricing the Calimer MT-82s, and would even consider a Tremec.
Once I get this issue buttoned down, I'll be on my way to going to forced induction. But it's a painful pill to swallow that I need to replace my transmission for $5,000, right before ordering an $8k supercharger kit.
