nervous about your MT82?

[jaa55]

So far I love my transmission, its shifts smooth and with ease but reading all this worrys me.

[THE BIG KOALA]

no problems with mine either so far.

[jaa55]

I hope it stays that way for the both of us joe, I mean I really like the way this tranny works.....hopefully there is a permanent fix for these people and they just arent a flawed design.

I cant believe clutch bolts are backing out......it seems like they are just throwing parts and fluids at the problem hoping they fix it.

[THE BIG KOALA]

When was your car built because it seems in that thread that most of those were built early in 2010. The same goes to you i hope you dont have any problems either and same for the rest of the people on here that bought one. most of the people on there say its sluggish on the 1 2 shift at low rpms all that i can say is more rpms

[jaa55]

well the engine had a 3/10 build date.....so id classify mine as early but it works beautifully......there are people running alot of horsepower through these trannys out there and it seems like the people who are having the problems are relatively stock.

this problem seems completely synchronizers, or something like the clutch dragging and beating them up. the pictures ive seen all the damage is on them and nowhere else

In cold weather I cannot get into 2nd gear regardless of RPM for the first 10-15 of driving. Other than that no problems here.

[jaa55]

i cant say i ever drive mine when its that cold out, mine always shifts nice.

i've been reading about these issues since the cars were released... there is a TSB out for them to get new tranny fluid...ill try to find the link

take that to your dealer and get your fluid changed

[jaa55]

ive read so much mixed information, im just laying low until i hear a definite solution.

I might change fluid, what does royal purple recommend?

that TSB is from Ford and its a free fix. i would just do it if i were you. not like someone just made it up.


but i have heard all kinds of crap too....oh the pressure plate bolts back out, the clutch is wrong, the clutch doesnt fully disengage, etc etc etc

[yeahloh95]

i have heard of this problem from a local guy , his seams to be worse when its cold .

[venom]

5800 miles here.

[jaa55]

I have 1000 miles on mine.

[THE BIG KOALA]

I have 600 miles on mine

[Witt]

1300 miles on mine with a Jan 21 2011 build date. I have no problems hot or cold. On my 09 tr3650 it would be rough getting into second when it was cold but this one is giving me no trouble at all.

[03 OW SVT]

Little over 400 on mine.

[jaa55]

Take this for what its worth.....I told the guy i just wanted his professional opinion and i wouldnt throw him under the bus for it.

just talked to a chemical engineer with royal purple. he said running synchromesh or 75w-90 would be good either or...75w-90 he said would be obviously notchy when cold..I told him ive seen pictures of the synchros in the mt82 and they are just old style looking surfaces, no carbon lined. its also odd as per fords lubrication it calls for QS but they are supposed to have QDC according to the manual and the new TSB.

I think mine must have QS in it (75w-90) its a thick darker fluid
