1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2017

At wide open throttle the transmission will not allow a gear change from first to second if the rpm is grater than 6000 rpm. The clutch peddle releases at the floor. After the engine has slowed the clutch returns to normal and the car can now be shifted into second. It may be caused by trough out bearing or spring tension on the clutch its self. I have had this problem since I bought the car 3 months ago. The car only has 46000 miles on it. I have read other people have had the same common problem.

2 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2011

I have a 6 speed manual transmission. It will not go into 2nd gear sometimes and when it does it's notchy and clunky (sometime it's smooth but rare). Under harder acceleration it will not go into 2nd gear at all. It does not grind or anything. It just won't go in. It's like hitting a wall. I've had this happen to me several times on the street and highway.

3 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2011

I have a 2012 Mustang with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. More than once while making a turn I found myself going to slow for second gear and when trying to go to first gear I am locked out. So I am forced to either unexpectedly slow down to a near stop to go into first which could lead to a accident, or go to second and hope I don't stall. This is a problem I have never experienced in any other manual car I have driven (2007 Honda civic, and 2009 Ford Mustang).

4 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2011

Car will not shift into gears. The vehicle will not allow me to enter the gear I desire, causing the car to suddenly loose momentum leaving me in a very dangerous situation in traffic. This has happened to me numerous times crossing intersections and entering the highway almost causing an accident. The car has a manual transmission. I have had ongoing issues with this vehicle since I purchased it, and I cannot drive the car with the confidence that it is safe.

7 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2011

The manual transmission in my 2011 Ford Mustang gt has given me problems for the past year of ownership. There have been multiple incidents where the transmission will not go into 2nd gear. The gear appears/feels to be "locked out". This has happened while pulling out across on-coming traffic, and I have had numerous close calls. I also have horrible gear while/noise, and grinding shifts almost all the time. Ford has rebuilt my transmission, but refuses to do anything else with the car. They claim that this is "normal" for this car. My wife drives the vehicle, and I fear for her safety. Please help me!.
