2011 Shelby GT500 SVT 1-2 shift problem
I just purchased a 2011 Shelby GT500 SVT with 48,000 miles. The vehicle is pristine and in factory configuration. I noticed the 1-2 gear change felt strange during the initial test drive, but wasn't aware of the gravity of it till after buying it and realizing it was significantly worse when under hard acceleration. Unless I perform a slow forceful shift with the clutch pressed entirely to the floor, I experience a nasty grind and usually a rejected gear selection. I've looked through forums on here and discovered this was a wide spread issue and that ultimately, the solution was to PM Deysha on here and request that she push the fix through your dealer. I've PM'd her but not sure if she is still active or responsible for this type of thing anymore as those post were back from I think like 2012.
Anyone have any suggestions/solutions?

You can schedule an appointment online here. Let me know what they say.
Thanks for the support, farsidejunky!

Thank you very much Deysha. I have made an appointment on Monday for 5:00 and will let you know what they tell me. Last night, the problem was entirely gone, I was considering not having the issue addressed but then was disappointed today when it was worse than ever. Seems to come and go and have not had it long enough to figure out what variables affect it. All I know is that when it's acting up, I must wait for the RPMs to return to idle, press the clutch all the way to the floor, and finesse the shifter into 2nd.
