Every manual car I have driven, or owned has had it's moments...notchy gear engagement here and there, won't go into first a few times, etc. It is the nature of the beast, and I love it. They do tend to loosen up over time a bit.
I do believe though that there are a lot of inexperienced stick drivers getting these cars and as soon as somebody says something about a notchy shift, there is this "Yeah, me too" mentality that seems to take over

Overall I don't like the tranny in this car, everything about the car is great and I have been a stang fan since I can remember. But this tranny Isn't my favorite, I have a 500 hp Honda that has a 93 Acura tranny in it and it get mistreated on a regular basis, no problems yet, I know its been built up a bit but overall it's just a way better transmission. Still love my stang more though, it's not as fast but it's way more comfortable and the stereo kicks ***, better looking as well. I wouldn't go back and change anything

I have driven 3 track prepped 05-07 Mustangs, all with "new" replacement 6 speed manual transmissions from the 2011 GT installed on the 4.6 V8. 2 of the 3 were grinding and wouldn't go into first gear without dropping to second first (not a problem on this particular track because it's 3-4-5 for the most part). One of them popped out of 3rd in a corner when I released the clutch - even after RPM matching. One of the 3 was flawless but it had less than an hour of track time on it. The shifting action of the 2 problematic ones was fairly squishy and sloppy....not fun.

Yeah, if you were looking for a 6-speed for the track, the TR6060 would be the best transmission available for the job. However, with regard to the "transmission from the 2011 Mustang" that would be accurate as the GT500 and Boss 302R/S ship with the TR6060.

It seems ridiculous to me to buy into the internet rumors about this transmission. My car was in the shop and did get transmission repairs twice, for a total of 6 days and the problems were fixed under warranty. So why the hell are people worried? Quit over analyzing the petty shyat.

Recruiting
Matero, you taking your holy crusade on the road now? Anybody who ever has a notchy shift, lets get together and sue Ford.
Just to sum up his position: been through how many clutches, pressure plates, bearings, slave cylinders? ....They were all crap. Now on third transmission...they are all bad. Ford told him to *&%# off, he now trolls the internet recruiting members to his crusade that they need to extract a pound or two of flesh from Ford. Matero's thought is that Ford should have put in a Tremec 6 spd, but what are you going to tell the guys on the Camaro forums who are crying about their crappy Tremec?
So now, day and night he trolls the entire internet with his crusade, no life, just anti Ford. Now, you don't need a thousand posts here,like the other forum. When good information and objectivity turn into what you do, it's a shame. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I read AFM a long time ago. I ordered a manual GT anyways. Just as I thought it would be, it is fine. I love this car. Sure there are some real problems, but there are also a large amount of people jumping on the bandwagon. The problem should be dealt with, but it is also being way overblown. Manual transmissions are never as easy as autos. They always have a certain personality to them that you need to get to know. If you can't do that, buy an auto and stop blaming your problems on others. My 6 speed is great. Best car I have ever owned. Some people have problems that really need to be fixed, but there are also a lot of people whining about this without cause.

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. I have one and the wife has one. They have both been flawless cars. I do see over 5000 posts over at AFM but a good bit of them are off topic and do not talk about the actual problem. There are a handful of folks that have had trannys replaced but most of the complaints are with notchy shifting which I really don't consider an issue. Also, on the NTSB website, some of the few complaints are down right funny. Have any of you read them? I also like how Matero says to call Ford before you buy a car and express your concern about the transmission issue. That was also kinda funny with me. I'll bet that if Matero ever gets what he wants you will never see him on the forum again...

Everyone complaining about this simply wants Ford to return their cars to the condition they were in when they took delivery. With all due respect, you have your head in the sand with this one.
I still suspect that your car may have some form of driveline alignment problem causing it to blow tranny after tranny while other peoples cars are getting out there without a single drivetrain problem. I wish all the best for you though and hopefully you get your car sorted out.
