The problem with the Mustang forums is a lot of the drivers are nubs. The majority of transmission complaints are coming from people who drove a Lexus beforehand and decided to drive a 5.0 because of the press. They don't understand that a direct input style transmission isn't going to be as smooth as a Lexus automatic or the cable-input transmission in (insert econobox here).
There is a vocal minority that bitches about a nonexistent problem. The few transmissions that have actually been defective (just like the '09 370s with the bum synchros) have been replaced. Everything else is just unwarranted complaining.

It has only been out for a year. There's always bumps in the road with new models. I agree, most of the issues will be ironed out within a year, or some of the complaints are being raised by silly persons who expected it to ride on a cloud and shift smoothly like some luxobox.
It's a $35k sports car, not a $60k lux bawks.
