Sorry for the late reply! I haven’t logged in in awhile.
Thats good. Mine is in now. Had to wait two weeks to even drop it off. They have had it since Wednesday. They called yesterday and said the transmission techs are so backed up they likely won't even look at it until mid to end of next week and parts are so back ordered they can't even then estimate when it will be completed. Im highly debating on trading it after the repair.
Since you’re paying out of pocket what’s the chances of getting a used Tremec from a GT350?
Mgw or Barton really fixed the tranny. I love it now
That sounds about right as far as lead times go. Supply chain interruptions are still wreaking havoc. Hopefully they’ll get to you quickly.
Yeah i called around all said basically 2 weeks to even have me drop the car off. Seems supply chain is lagged and also demand for mt82 repairs are high.
They’ll get right on it now, in hopes that you’ll take it back and drop the lemon law buy back process. Did you have any mods on the car that they should reimburse you for? You don’t want to forget to add them to the paperwork if you do.
Yes i have mods. A catback and catch can and hood struts. But i hope to take them off and put the factory back on and put the mods on the replacement According to the state official i spoke to they said even if they finish the car tomorrow and i take possession its still considered a lemon and the law still applies. Unless i decide to settle with ford for something else. I likely won't as there are other issues. What caused the damage in the first place is the clutch not completely disengaging. With clutch pressed in at times intermittently gears would grind until i pushed shifter out and back in from first week i had the car but dealership won't even look at the clutch just said they were throwing replacement parts in transmission so it will happen again anyways. Prefer to not have this headache again.
Im doing a replacement option. They have to provide a direct replacement as close to what i have as possible since options change from year to year but with these mustangs the 2019-2021 only option i know has changed is they stopped ruby red metallic tint which mine is and now have a slightly brighter rapid red metallic tint. Being most 2020 are already gone the state said it will likely be a 2021 replacement.
The problem isn't the shifter with mt82s, while the aftermarket shifter is far better than stock it does nothing to fix high rpm lockout and syncro issues. The lockout is a direct issue with a shitty clutch that can't handle the high rpms. Once you install a good clutch no more lockout
Yep. I knew it was clutch from day one but telling them that they wouldn't hear it
