Too bad it doesn't work that way when looking in from the iPhone app.

 

No quick links? No smiley's?? Those things are useless. ; )

 

See... we just got another Trans thread - like it hasn't been posted ad naseum.

https://themustangsource.com/f800/5-...9/#post6118818

 

Based on a number of teardowns on this forum and others, the materials used appear to be faulty, either by DESIGN, MANUFACTURE or QUALITY CONTROL...

Given their experience and reputation, I doubt Getrag would specify a substandard material in their design, which leaves manufacture or QC as the culprits, BOTH of which occur in China...

Either Ford failed to properly specify or oversee those processes, or the Chinese threw in some junk material...

Logic would indicate that Ford would keep an eagle eye on a brand new factory in a "developing" economy during their first production runs, so that leaves the Chinese substituting junk materials... Of course they have never done anything like that before, like having lead in paint for kids' toys, or ethylene glycol in pet food....

 

So adding three replies to this makes it better ... how? It is the Boss section there is one post, get over it

 

screw your boss section buddy.

If you don't like the TMS Mustang site, go start your own boss forum.

 

The intention was to inform you guys that there was a duplicate thread and you guys may want to check that one also for any more info on the issue. But you Boss guys are a bit ridiculous. You bought a mustang and this is a mustang community. You didn't buy a Ferrari. And in all honesty, you bought an upgraded GT. Contribute a little more to the rest of the site. There's some good characters here. And just maybe you guys might learn a few things. And BTW, none of you guys can beat me.

 

So a GT500 is not an "upgraded GT"?

All these inflammatory posts and the Boss guys are the ones that are full of themselves? LMAO.

 

Nonono. Svt and his holiness Mr. Shelby gave us the gift of of the GT500. That's why the boss doesn't have 550hp.

 

 

I don't know of any GT that comes from the factory with an all aluminum supercharged DOHC 4V 5.4L.

 

Every model is based on the same chassis, even the V6.

 

They don't make 500's from GT's.

 

Nonono. Just base sheetmetal shell. Like Lexus and Toyota.

 

Please continue.

 

Stuff made elsewhere is just going to be something where going to have to deal with for now and long into the future. Unless some politics change here companies are going to continue their outsourcing to save money left and right.

Companies are in existence to make money and Ford is no exception. I still cant believe that using a tranny that uses parts manufactured in England and Germany, assembled in China, shipped to America comes out cheaper. Something must really be wrong here to scare that business away. Oh right the problem is Capital Hill. Companies are being scared away from doing business in our own country because of rising taxes, pressures from workers unions who ask for higher salaries because of the ever increasing cost of living (food, goods, services) which just leads back to increasing taxes.

If Washington DC doesn't change you might as well get used to the idea of products not being made here.

 

I merged the threads, but I left a link for 2 weeks since this is a topic that will garner attention for some time. If need be I can extend the redirect . . . .

Story is going more mainstream and hit Autoblog:

Although lately they have reported every investigation, so...

I wonder what the cost delta is on the Tremac if if Ford should just throw them on to begone with this mess.
