Major improvement with MT82 fluid change

[M3Convert]

A bit late to the party...but can you reach/pump fluid without going in through the gear stick?

There is a fill plug on the side of the tranny

Hahaha, Figured with throwing the 5k out there the milage que was out and about.. Mah bad!

Miles, not RPM's.

Are they covering it under warranty?

I've felt like my 2nd gear synchros have been crap since I drove it off the lot. Every other gear is smooth, just 2nd feels notchy, it gets a little better once its fully warmed up, but still not smooth by any means.

I just got it to ford.. I know nothing, as stated.

I just wanted to post this for what it's worth to the owners who were and are experiencing a thud when shifting.



I too, Experienced this - Changed fluid @ 5k to Royal Purple Syncromax.. Thud went away - thought "Awesome, must of just been some dirty fluid from break in.." Well - Perhaps that was the case but I started picking up a slight "Bite/thud" into second at 8,000. 8,300 now the car is @ Ford for a failed 2nd gear synchro..



I'm not trying to alarm anyone, and I'm not pointing fingers anywhere - Just something to be noted for those experiencing a "thud".



I have no details on the transmission yet. I just dropped it off today.

Any updates?

Currently it is 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..

Spoke to Ford (William) today, 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.

At this point I'd say it is going to be covered under warranty, And I'm trying to be a reasonable human being about all of this.. But something smells odd when the prior year is supposedly the "Same" transmission, But no parts or units are to be found.. Just seems odd.

EDIT - 5/11/15 marks 2 weeks @ dealer.

I read somewhere during the reveal last December that although it is the same transmission, they did make some internal changes. Sounds like they need to go back to the drawing board.

I wish I would have seen this 2 days ago :doh: spent an extra 30-45 minutes taking my interior apart and putting it back together after I realized the plug positions changed. :headbonk:

I'm due for an oil change tmrw. I got the 'free' oil change warranty type whatchamacallit when I bought the car. I'll see if they can do the tranny fluid swap to the Royal Purple for me. I was having just a fair bit of fun with a 350z today, and I missed 2nd from what I believe the 'thud' is. Clutch pedal was all the way to the floor, and shifter took a lil more force than what I wanted to give it going into 2nd.

Any update?

My car randomly seems to have an issue with second gear. It's hard to describe but it feels like it comes "out of socket" or something when it goes into second every 5 or so shifts. 4k miles

Does this sound like anything familiar lol?

Dealership said the trans fluid swap wouldn't be covered. Said it shouldn't need it. I described to them the problem and they said they'd have to have their transmission guy take a look at it. He was already gone for the day when I went in, and I didn't want to leave my car there overnight with no loaner.

No update. Looking like middle to end of June until parts delivery. Brand new (Paco?) report from this am.

Yup - It does, Mine started doing a weird thing to.. When I would go to leave in the am (I leave @ 5) I leave in second to be quiet - well, it started refusing to start in second.. Would be in, you would go to start releasing - neutral. Oddest thing.

But yea - No update other then parts middle to end of June.. Was told beginning of June for awhile, It just went up this past week.

Sub'd for later, thanks for this.

If your tans goes boom after a fluid swap, dealer without knowing ofcourse, can they run a chemical analysis on the fluid to discover an aftermarket fluid was used in the trans? On top of it can they void the trans warranty?
