Alex Flores broke shift forks on camera

[WildHorse]

just referring to the steel. They are brittle.

Then where's the thousands of reported failures?

very few failures but that doesn't mean they aren't brittle.

so do we know if TR6060 shift fork is steel or aluminum ?

I'm not sure, but there's ways to make aluminum forks plenty durable too. I think my main concern with them is aluminum doesn't have an endurance limit, so it is prone to fatigue no matter the stress level. That said, if properly designed, that fatigue life is so high it is irrelevant in the discussion.

Alex def not gorilla shift 2-3, let us not forget he has shifted a 10 second mt-82
I would like to see the bench racers saying he gorilla shifted post a 1-3 WOT video to show us how it's done.

Then where are the 1000's of broken shift fork warranty claims? Fricken MT82 haters let me tell ya.

MT-82 haters? 18+ forks are made out of cast aluminum.
Not everyone with a broken 18+ shift fork will come on m6g and make sure you know about it.



If there were no problem, Ford would not have a TSB.

*taken from another of Ls_Eaters video description*
"Ford has released TSB 18-2175 on the 29th of June.
This TSB replaces the 3/4 shift forks as well as the 3/4 synchro.
If you have issues getting into 3/4 in your 2018 MT-82 4D call your service advisor!!"

No, but warranty claims and a Ford recall on that part would make the net. TSB 18-2175 however is not a recall.

A few people on a forum equals everyone having the issue duh

Heh. Look at all his vids. He snapped his Tremec too. I think he's trying to break em. He says he's not shifting hard but it's quite obvious he's putting WAY too much force into those shifts.

He's shifting like he's trying to break it. Morons like him give Ford and other brands a bad name.

My MT82 has 80k miles and I have shifted many times way harder and power shifted with no breaking, saying he shifted too hard is crazy. Only issue I have had with my manual is the gear whine, stared at 12k miles and I thought it was broken, I tried and could not make the mt82 fail to get a replacement for the whine. Still shifts like new and I don't see it giving out anytime soon.

You must've never quick shifted before. If you're doing it right, there isn't much resistance, it pretty much falls in.

If my Bullitt order falls through, I may really give the 2019 Camaro SS a second look. I like the refresh...less transformer, more mature.

Less transformer? The 2019 Camaro MY refresh debuted as a "Transformer" in the 2017 movie. It doesn't get anymore "Transformer" than that.

I was at a few dealerships this morning and strangely I can’t see any GTs anywhere. Also with the bulk shipments of Ecoboosts I can’t find a manual anywhere. Like they really scaled back production for some reason on GTs and manual trannies. Nah - the new GT is bulletproof as the JD Power survey says so...

Great I guess? I don't really care about what happens with the 2018+ cars to be honest as it doesn't affect me in anyway. I already know what is going to happen on here at least. All of the posts/threads in the world is not going to force a company which has one goal of making money at all costs to "act". I also drive the undrivable A6 so I cant really say much about the manual cars. Might see less GTs up there anyways considering the insane pricing

Yup. The reason I bought a base car this time (usually base cars for me but I had cash this time) is because for 2017 the dealers only brought in premium GTs and no base GTs. And I’m not paying double the price of a V6 for two extra cylinders even though I always said I would only own V8s! So that is what happened there.

I've been driving cars that were manual gearboxes for years. S2000, 94 RX-7, Mustangs with T5's. If you don't shift like He-Man shit doesn't break. The end.
