I have a 2012 Mustang v6 with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. I have been experiencing problems shifting from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd gear. The problem is that it can be very difficult to actually shift gears. There can be a lot of resistance and are times when I have to force the car into gear or skip the gear completely. The transmission is grinding and resisting changing gears. Also, there is a vibration when I let off of the gas while the car is still in gear. And today I felt a grinding while I had the clutch completely depressed. This vibration can and does occur up to 25 times each day during my 40 mile commute. I have stopped by the dealership and inquired about any know issues and was told they are not aware of any. The car has exactly 5000 miles on it. I have owned many other cars with manual transmissions, such as two Honda accords and 2 Toyota celica's. These transmission issues are of great concern for my safety, the safety of my wife and the safety of our 4 year old daughter. Dealing with a screaming child is very unpleasant but every parent becomes accustom too (even thought we don,t like it). But having the issue of not being able to shift gears while driving through a busy intersection and dealing with a screaming child is terrifying. Please take a deep look into these concerns. There are plenty of actual videos available to confirm the complaints. Ford has done a terrific job. Just hold them accountable for this flawed transmission. I just want my new car to run safely.

While trying to shift from 1st to 2nd it wont go into 2nd gear, it feels like something is blocking the gear and it also has done it going from 2nd to 1st. During one instance when I was turning and tried to shift into 2nd gear and couldn't I was almost hit by an oncoming car but they were able to go around me at the last second. I also have a vibration in the transmission at around 2500 rpm's.
6 speed manual transmission, 5. 0 liter engine. While under accelleration the transmission "hangs" when shifting from 4th gear to 5th gear. The shift into 5th gear will not occur unless the shift is stopped and started again I. E. Shift back to 4th and then to 5th a second time. This of course means that the vehicle is not accellerating, which is problematic when merging in traffic onto a highway or interstate in a metropolitain area. This "hanging" issue has not occurred in any other gear combination I. E. 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd etc. Only 4th to 5th. Since the first occurance this scenario has repeated itself again and again up to 5-6 times per week.
