I suspect that OP's car is just one of the unfortunate "boundary" cars, where it's build date was too close to the part change to avoid getting the old style of transmission. After all, I doubt Ford was like "yeah we're just going to throw all these away because a revised part exists". When it comes to a line stoppage versus just putting in the old units they have and warrantying it later if they have to, it's obvious which one they're going to choose. Especially since these are relatively complex units made overseas, and the "defect" in question wasn't a critical one. The aluminum forks work fine, they're just easily bent if you shift like a gorilla, haha.So although the service manual specifically states the shift forks are forged steel it appears they are the special lightweight, non-magnetic version. That's a forgery alright!
