How long before we see some specs & prices?

[S550Boss]

Yes, exactly. Every manual transmission in a V-8 Mustang (Fox and up) failed when it first came out, except for the first T5s (and they were weak and would need upgrading quickly). The SROD lost gears entirely, the T45s barely had synchros, the first T-56s (a transmission originally designed for the Mustang, and finally arriving years late) has problems, and now the MT82. I had one of each of these, and they all failed.
So that's why the choice of a new transmission for 2011 was a milestone: would Ford get it right or blow it again. The intentions were there to get a great transmission, with the Coyote-optimum gearing (which the TR6060 absolutely didn't have), and world-class shift effort. But clearly Ford failed in their choice, the engineering, and the testing.
So that's why I want to see a testing program and details of what changed internally - IF anything. It's an IF right now.
And the testing program should be publicized just like the torture testing that is being done for the new F-150.

I thought it was a "what" not an "IF" at this point? Ford have already said changes have been made, right?

The torture testing will be done by you,JOHN Q PUBLIC, and you will be able to see the results in TSB,Recalls,& Warranty work,should be very interesting!!!!!!!!:amen:

I'm not particularly interested in a shifter or more fluid changes. I want to see internal changes and I want to see if the plastic parts are still there, along with the cheap stamped shift fork.

Allegedly the shift fork's been updated and beefed up.

This.

I know the feelig of driving a tranny with cheap shift forks, though. The 5-spds used in all of the Rangers and late 90's F-150's had cheap cast iron shift forks that like to break when powershifting.

Any one heard anything on pricing. I know everyone is suspecting it will be the 20th but be awesome if it got leaked early on here ;)

I agree would love for another leak or for them to just announce it. 11 days and counting.

This biggest disappointment of the 15 Mustangs no doubt is the MT82 Trans. I wont touch a used 11-14 because of it. I surely hope something has been done to improve it. Sometimes, I really think Ford thinks we are all just a bunch of dumb asses that they can pass anything over on. Sadly, they are mistaken in my case.

Thanks TN.

Chesnut as an interior colour? Is that the new name for Saddle? (the colour in the brochure is seldom an accurate indicator!)

Also, what does "fleet exclusive" mean? Is that in terms of the likes of Hertz buying 10k Mustang getting the item indicated?

Just read an article by inautonews about the champions league mustang pre order and they are quoting figures of 309 HP and 300 lb-ft torque for the EB and 426 HP and 390 lb-ft torque for the 5.0. Have these details now been released?
