I honestly don’t feel this is an issue. If it’s a big deal, buy a tremec car or any other platform with a Tremec, BorgWarner, whatever.

Much like any mass produced item there are variances. That’s just how it is. Things like a better shifter, fluid and bushings all help.

Mine is whiny, kinda like some on this forum but it’ll still do the job and I’ll have to say that most missed shifts on track(where it matters) is due to user error.

Yes there are more refined boxes out there but there are all becoming endangered species. I would suggest enjoying the ride while it still exists or putting more money down for something that fits your preferences. Just my .02

Anecdotal from my side, but the MT-82 in my 2013 Boss 302 was horrible. Even with a shifter. Refused to shift above 7000rpm on maybe 30% of the shifts.

Haven't missed a shift in the D4 in my Bullitt though, even with the stock shifter.

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. I don't think the newer ones deserve the reputation from the first iterations. Just put a shifter on it like others have said.

Why was your MT82 responsible for an oil leak?

I want to understand how a transmission problem causes a motor oil leak. I'm curious - that's all.
