Deysha, how are dealers attempting to replicate the cold shifting issue as temps warm up in the northern regions? I had this issue with mine, but it has gotten better as the temps warmed up.

I'm taking mine in on Wednesday morning. Even though the temps have gotten to be better, I still get an occasional grind in the 2nd gear (especially when it's 40 degrees out and I haven't driven it at all).
All other gears are smooth, except the 2nd. I'm thinking it's the fluid. We shall see.

I dropped my car off last night for my dealer to see the issue this morning. When they asked the problem I basically told them exactly what's mentioned in the tsb. They followed the tsb and drained the fluid to put the new fluid in. They are keeping it overnight to test the car in the morning to make sure the problem is fixed. Will post after I get my car back.

From the sounds of things people have felt this grinding even when it's 50F out (that's about +10C up here..and that's a warm balmy day right now!) What have other Canadians experienced during the -20C to -40C weather? If the transmissions are acting up at +10C you would think you wouldn't even be able to drive in -40C!!
Mine has been in storage since Nov. 10th so I can't attest to any of this. From what I can recall the last time I drove it (feels like 5 years not 5 months...) I can't remember ever feeling what you guys are feeling.

One of my 2x 2011 Mustang GT's now has 12,000 miles... the grinding became a huge issue. 5th gear cannot be shifted into. Grinds 100% of the time. It used to be just a small grind in spirited driving, 3000+rpm before shifting. Now, the only way to use 5th is to turn car off, insert into 5th gear, hold shifter in place, then turn on car.. car will start rolling in 5th.
THIS TRANSMISSION SUCKS!
Dealership doesn't want to see the car, perform TSB's, or find a resolution.

Just found out that the shifter is mounted to the body and is semi-remote. It's not a direct-mounted shifter. This could be considered an iffy design choice, and might be the cause of some of the problems. Hoping (and confident!) that mine will be fine!

I cant believe this issue is still going on. I suspect there is a major design flaw of some sort. Ford needs to take the high road and fix it no matter what it costs them. How this was not caught in testing is a mystery to me. Ford is also quietly replacing transmissions in the new Fiesta as well. There have been a ton of them with issues. This is more like the old Ford and I for one am not impressed and it would make me think more than once before I let them have my money.

Coming from a 5-speed Subaru, the 2011 I test-drove had a beautiful transmission. Hope my 2012 is the same (and stays that way)!
