Would love to see them put a bulletproof manual in the GT like the 6R80 auto.

 

don't think I would hold my breath on that one.. unless they're looking for an extra overdrive gear or two to squeeze a few more MPG's on the models with 3.73's

 

MT82 isn't that bad.. I'm just thankfull to finally have a 6 spd in our GT's

 

Wasn't Ford and GM cooperating on a new transmission?

 

9 and 10 speed autos......

 

I hope they make it better gas mileage

 

You guys are already spoiled with mpg

 

I don't know... most guys can't shift the 6 spd. cause they can't find the gates.

 

haha true, maybe we need to go back to four speeds.. with an automatic two speed rear end just for good measure.

 

No $***

 

According to a tremec dealer at a recent NMRA event, there are no less than 3 2015 test mules with magnum XL in them right now

 

That is interesting, especially since that would be a heavier transmission, not what you would want if Ford was trying to shed weight from the vehicle for the next generation.

 

when I sold my 2012 GT it had 12,800 no issue miles on the MT82. I still say pilot error.

 

This. I'm at 35K

 

Double This. Every so often but only if I'm being an idiot.
Clutch in, then shift... simple enough. lol

 

I'm sure there were a few lemons, as there always are, but nothing crazy

 

I can't speak for everyone but in my case, this is true. I had trouble shifting my car at first and was worried it was the tyranny based on posts here. I've driven manual cars exclusively for the past 23 years, so it couldn't be me. After a month I learned the car and love the tranny. I'm probably the only person that likes the stock shifter. I just changed the bracket and it is magic.

 

Maybe there is hope after all. Between the Mt82 and the dual clutch transmission in the Fiesta/Focus all is not quite well with Getrag. Rumor has it the dual clutch is going bye bye in the next gen Focus. I would love to see the same fate for the MT82 but its wishful thinking imo.

 

I'll gladly chew on my heel to see Tremec's in GT's
Hopefully Ford learned quickly with the Getrag fiasco

If I were contemplating over an available 14' or ordering a 15'
and knew the 15' would have a factory Tremec..
I'd be on the order list.

 

I've been driving manuals for 22 years. I'm 36 and started on a 5 speed in a field truck when I was 14. I've never had any issues until this transmission. So unless I all of a sudden forgot how to drive manuals, I'd say there's something not quite right with this trannie.

You probably wont' see too many issues with the trannie if you granny shift all the time. But for mine, it's like clockwork. I know exactly when it will act up:

First time driving the car when it's cold....first shift into 3rd....grrriiiindd. Every single time. That first cold shift does it every time into 3rd. Second shift into third....little grriind. After that when its warm. It won't grind.

Next...I won't see any issues until I drive the car hard. Once the RPM's get above 6,000 when shifting into third...I have to engage the clutch and give it about 3 seconds with the clutch in before it will allow me to shift into third. Otherwise, if I try to shift without that delay...gate looooccckkkkkked. This behavior is clockwork for my car.
