This 5.0's are badass. Has ford fix that transmission problem that was reported in jalopnik?

:bowrofl:

Jared I hope you make it back down to NC for ZDayZ next year! :tup:

It's not really a problem, there were just a lot of vocal complaints from people that can't shift. The few transmissions that were actually defective (Like the early 370Z 6MTs) were all repaired or replaced AFAIK.

LOL, We plan on it. Anything to see Red_Zed again. I'm not sure if u know but we are best bubs.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

It's all fun and games!

fix'd for accuracy:roflpuke2:

:rofl2: So true.

pretty much this. I've driven 5-6 new 5.0s and the transmissions have all been pretty solid.

ugh, I'm gonna be outta town for the last two autocrosses of the season, mustang is gonna have to wait for next year :(

At least I should get to smoke run with blades in the t-rex

No wonder i haven't heard anything about those issues lately.

there's still people complaining about it, just like there are still people that think all the Z transmissions have issues. The people complaining either
a: don't know how to drive a manual, or
b: came from a honda s2000


Only issue I have with the transmission is the distance between 1st and 5th in the mustang is about the spacing of 1-3 in the Z...still adjusting:roflpuke2:

So true. The tight spacing was tough for me to get used to at first -- I had a few accidental 2-5 shifts in normal driving until I got used to it.

Of course then I realized the car has enough torque just to do 1-3-5-6, 1-4-6, 1-5-6, or hell even 1-6. :icon18:

Re: transmission complaints. One of the most vocal complainers came from... get this...
































A LEXUS!!!! :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

re torque: I started in 3rd today without even realizing it:roflpuke2:
UH MAY ZING

Yeah, it's good stuff. I loved the Z but one of the things I was really missing was the torque of a nice V8.

i really just wanted the ricer lights from the factory:ugh2:
