2021 GT

[faser]

I'm looking to purchase a '21 GT or possibly a leftover '20. I have recently read a significant amount of negativity in regards to the MT-82 manual. Has this transmission been improved for '21 in any way. I know that the Tremec will be the manual for the Mach 1 but I'm not interested in that model.

Hi Scott and welcome to the forum. There are many, many threads on the MT82. Just do a search for them.

Here’s one:

Long story short, no changes for 21’. The MT82 is just fine. Go place your order!

There's no issues with the 20202 MT82. And the only issues there ever was with the 2018 MT82-D4 transmissions, was aluminum shift-forks that were switched back to steel very quickly.

Purchase with confidence.

Appreciate the reassurance here. Great forum by the way.

probably cheaper to rebuild your transmission or buy replacements than go for Magnum XL did that research last summer when my MT82 was rebuilded.

Sure the MT82 gets some hate but it got this guy in the 9’s.

This is true.

If you haven't driven an MT-82 make sure you do before buying. It was an expensive lesson to trade in after 3k miles in my case. I'd only buy the Mach 1 with the Tremec if I was going back to a stick.

Had a 2018 and have a 2019, transmission seemed/seems fine in both. Swap the fluid and forget about it. It's notchy in cold weather but that's all I have to complain about.

Remember too that people post their problems and rants in forums like this. Rarely do you see a post that says "there is nothing wrong with my car".

Every manufacturer is going to a certain percentage of problems with some of their components. Of that, a certain percentage of people will complain about it. It doesn't mean that they are all bad, or that you should go buy a Chevy instead.

Agreed, I love mine. One of the better manuals I've driven in this life with the improvements they made.

Which fluid did

Which fluid did you change to?

For a daily driver it's okay. Not great but it works. Still a lot more fun than an auto.

I beat the ever hell out of the MT-82 in my 2016 for almost 5 years and 100,000 miles, didn’t have a single issue with it. If you like the vehicle, get it.
