Ok guys I just got my 2013 GT and have about 1K miles on it. I just started noticing a pinging noise like metal on metal when I put it in first gear. I have been reading around and it seems that these transmissions are not the best but haven’t found this particular issue on any forums that match my same one. Anyone have a idea what this could be?
Ya I'm pretty sure the noise is coming from the tranny and not the two piece. im going to give it a few more miles then see if it gets worse or just goes away. Ya I'm still freaking out about every little noise to just because I have read alot of stuff that has to do with the tranny on this car being garbage.
I remember when I first got my five oh, I used to freak out everytime I heard a noise. but one of the guys on this forum said stangs are rustic sports cars and now I understand why.
I don't mind the noise as long as it keeps shifting good.
I'll drive it til the trans is dead and then go T56 if I have to, but hopefully wont have too. I don't abuse the car too, much so hopefully it will last.
I know with the track pack cars, Ford puts a special additive in the oil for engine break in. I wouldn't be so quick to just go changing fluids without verifying from your dealer that there's no additional additives.
I live in south florida what tranny oil would be the best for the mt82?
