Except this is a mustang forum. Maybe you simply had bad luck. Nothing is ever 100%. That doesn’t mean Ford made a mistake. And 30k is a bargain for the performance you get. If it was 100k sports car then you might have a point
Want to hear some "noisy" engines, listen to a 911. Not sure if it is funny or sad how people complain of ticks and rattles on this site when you can hear all kinds of sounds from almost any engine. I would guess that some of the complainers would also have an issue with EV's making very little noise and not like them because of the lack of noise. Strange right?
no, *bean-counters* routinely make terrible decisions every day. They think one number is equivalent as another other number, and that the real world side effect has no more impact than the exertion of updating a cell in a spreadsheet. After all the lawyers are sitting at the bottom of the ocean, the bean-counters need to join the party.
Those of us with Tremec-equipped Camaros don't mind GM's choice of supplier one bit! The more I drive both the GT and SS, the more I come away with the impression GM engineers are better at fundamentals and physics - the hard engineering. Ford gets cosmetics, the soft engineering right. Not to say the Coyote in finally it's 3rd iteration isn't a gem. Is Ford taking cues from Microsoft (their 'sync' supplier of yore) that it takes 3 iterations to figure out how to make a really good product?
2nd gear shift fork went boom and took out the countershaft. Ford got the dealer the wrong parts twice I believe. Finally they just installed a whole new gearbox.
Wait? What? Getrag Ford transmission were produced in COLOGNE France, HALEWOOD England, BORDEAUX France, or SANAND India. BTW, Chrysler HEMI engines are made in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. Make sure yours wasn't produced on Taco Tuesday haha.
I thought it was well established that the MT-82's found in Mustangs are made in China? https://jalopnik.com/faulty-chinese-built-transmissions-plague-new-ford-must-5792482
the PP1 wheels are at least. If it doesn't say, you can bet it was made in China. It's just beyond reprehensible the sheer millions of jobs stolen by so-called American firms only to give them to our #1 enemy/rival.
Agree with you 100%. Out of the many things Covid-19 is teaching us, it should be showing how many things are made in China that we should be making in the US. Would like to see everything made here, but at least the medical supply stuff. I hope a trend is started to pull things back. Cheap is cheap and all good in some ways, but when people are dying because we can't make the stuff to keep them alive, the line needs to be drawn. We used to be the manufacturing center of the world and now we can barely make a ventilator or a PPE mask.
I looked and looked and couldn't find any reference of the MT82 transmissions in 15-17 Mustangs were produced in China. Maybe the S197's MT82's were. The 18+ aren't getrag anymore, they're called Magna PT.
