I mean, I don't want to rag on you guys (because I was/am interested in the 5.0), but I can't visit a Mustang forum or general car site without seeing someone mention a problem with the transmission. It even made the car blog rounds a few months ago. Hell, when I went to test drive the car, I brought up the transmission thing and the salesman even admitted it to me, trying to calm my worries by saying that everything would be covered under warranty anyway.

I also just read a TSB that Ford put out to deny warranties if people are using a tune, which is sort of scary considering how much bragging there was about getting power out of the 5.0.

It seems sort of like the ringland issue they have/had with the 08+ STi's. Some people deny they even exist, and never have a problem with tons of miles on their car, and others don't make it past 1 or 2k miles without their engine popping.
