Unwarranted MT82 hate

Are you pausing between shifts to allow the synchros to do their job, or making lightening quick shifts? I think quick shifting, coupled with the factory clutch are the cause of a lot of breakages that are occurring.

On the stock clutch I had to shift slow and smooth from 2-3 at high rpm. (6800-8000ish) other than that, my tranny shifts pretty well. Little notchy when cold but not as bad as my last few cars. With an aftermarket clutch now I bang gears hard and fast regardless of gear or rpm no issues.

Can you share more info with us about what the damage is and what you believe may have caused the damage?

Waiting to find out. This literally just happened last night.

Copy that. Will the dealership or local transmission shop be handling the teardown and assessment or will you be doing it yourself?

My 2012, 2015, and 2021 GT’s that were all bought brand new, had an issue. even after giving the car 2,500 miles of easy driving to “break in”, I always had the high rpm lockout which required me having to buy a brand new clutch to replace a brand new clutch.

The 2021 also gave me the “nibbling” issue in 3rd when it was 60° or less out.

I live around the block from palm beach dyno. They have done all my work. Including the alumina for short block I just did. Transmissions is outside my wheelhouse and skill level lol

I got locked out at anything over 3k. Sold the car after 3 months for the auto.

You should learn to drive a manual lol

The 3k lockout struggle is real!

I had zero issues before an engine replacement at 74k miles. Now I have terrible high rpm shifts and vibration issues. This is a clutch problem IMHO.

Clutch replacement time. Just went through this myself. Still trying to get some miles on the new clutch and enhanced tranny before I go WOT to see if I have any lockout issues.
