Two problems related to manual transmission have been reported for the 2005 Ford Mustang. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Ford Mustang based on all problems reported for the 2005 Mustang.
2005 Ford Mustang accelerates on its own. Consumer states that the vehicle will accelerate on its own. He states that the rpm's would be up to 1500. He states that since then, now it accelerates up to 2500 rpm's. A flight recorder was installed in the vehicle. The flight recorder captured the problem the consumer was referring to. The flight recorder was then sent to Ford engineering and they stated the computer was demanding the vehicle to accelerate. The consumer also stated the transmission did not shift smoothly. The transmission would clunk when the clutch was let out, especially in lower gears.
After starting the car, the transmission sticks and will not shift into reverse. It will go into 1st - 5th but won't even think about going into reverse. After talking with the dealership, they said its probably user error. They said that the driver probably just isn't pushing the clutch in all they way. Well, with me being the driver, I know that the clutch doesn't go down any farther.
