Yes the problem appears to be (atleast in my case) the synchros for 2nd gear and 3rd gear. I have a 2007 GT with a build date of either June or July of 2007. i have had the 3rd gear synchro replaced after it went completely out and i lost the use of 3rd gear (the car only had approx. 5000 miles on it at the time). I am now currently having issues with the 2nd gear synchro (mileage is currently at 16000). Looks like im in for another fight with the dealer to get this one fixed too. Oh and i do have an aftermarket shifter, its only a Roush but better than the stock one.
