Excellent update today. Dealer just called. My car is COMPLETE! That's not the coolest news though. The adviser told me that they installed a 2013 transmission instead of the 2011 model due to the excessive synchro problems.
I didn't know the 2013 trans was different? Either way. I'm on my way to pick it up now.

I just got home from picking up my car. It feels fantastic. No weird sounds or anything of the sort. Shifter is firm and the clutch pedal is nice and even all the way down. It shifts beautifully. Here is the list of parts that were replaced/upgraded (so they say). There's various other part numbers listed but those are for nuts, bolts, and fluids.
- FLYWHEEL ASY - BR3Z*6375*D
- CLUTCH ASY - BR3Z*7B546*AE
- CYLINDER ASY - BR3Z*7A508*A
- TRANSMISSION ASY - CR3Z*7003*C
EDIT: Just checked Ford Parts website. The part numbers I listed are for 2013-2014 5.0 Mustangs. I didn't see them cross reference to 2011-2012. I like brand new stuff!

After driving it a few days. I can clearly tell that this is an excellent fix. The clutch is a sledgehammer though, but it could be the fact that it is brand new.
What's the break in mileage on these? 500mi?

To keep this going a bit...I've got a 2014 GT with 450 miles and I'm having major 3rd gear grinding issues. When I try to shift quickly between 2nd and 3rd the dreaded grind and rejection happens.
I'm just saying, because you got a newer tranny that might not be the end of the story?!
I have yet to seek dealership help, hoping that maybe a transmission flush and different fluid might help and an MGW shifter install
Thoughts?

This is not what others are having as issues. When you hear others having problems they are getting grinds under regular shifting. What you have is something that will go away as you become more familiar with the tranny and more so when you get a bracket.
Don't worry about fluid bc its not an internal thing. MGW will solve it for sure.
On a side note. With a new car you will be **** about little bumps and noises. It makes things worse when you read general text based description of issues. Try to keep in mind that most of the issues people have (although very much real) are few and far between. Your description is cut and dry. You're fine.

I am pretty happy about the fix. It drives smooth as butter. No rejections and no abby-normal sounds. I have not really dogged on it since it's all brand new. I am going to wait a couple more weeks to give it a good WOT pull.

Parts go through revisions and if a part is backwards compatible the previous versions are used until they are gone and then the newest revision takes over.
The only difference is if something isn't backwards compatible or requires a number of parts to be so.
There may be nothing special about getting 2013 parts, it's just getting the current replacement parts, then again it may require all of those parts to be replaced to be backwards compatible and then it may be something special.

Agreed with this. The bracket is neccessary. Having said that though, I lost patience with trying to work around the quirks of this trannie. An AT is just so much easier to deal with and especially in racing environments. Not sure I'll ever go back to the MT again in anything but a DD. Of course I understand that's not always possible in what Ford offers stock in their higher performance cars too.
