Default Ford issues TSB for the 2011 Mustang for clutch fixed

If you have a 2011 Mustang GT with a manual transmission built before April 25, head over to Ford and get the fix. Here's the details:

I'd like to be the first to welcome the 2011 owners to the TSB club. Have a seat. Tell us a little about yourself.

How many are there? Glad I waited until August (Job 2). Looks like they implemented some bug fixes before turning out the Job 2 builds.

At least our interiors don't get flooded with water every time it rains The 2005-09 models had a number of TSBs relating to electrical, drive-train, and general vibration issues all the way up to the release of the 2010 model. It's a little premature to assume the 2011's are going to have problems.. especially considering how few of them are in the wild.

the mustang daily article states mustang GTs, the TSB includes everything with the MT82, which is both v6 and v8

I need to check my mfg date, it was close to there. I haven't experienced this issue at all though

The first year of any major model upgrade is GOING to have some issues to address, its just to be expected frankly, and something that you sign up for when you buy one. I expect we'll see several more in the next couple years, but hopefully they are minor.

Hopefully they learned from our 05-09's but judging on how long it took Ford to get those issues that plagued the 05's fixed (some not until '08), I'll withold judgement about the '11s. When I first saw this thread I had expected the TSB to be for the vibrations that so many are reporting.

I hate American manual transmissions, clutches in genera. My 99 GT was a manual and hated the transmisson. I like the auto Mustang a lot better.

I don't see how changing the brake pedal bracket is going to fix the centrifugal forces on the clutch diaphragm fingers. You'd think after 100 years they'd know how to make a clutch that works properly.

The 2010 GT pedal assembly is setup so the clutch return spring is stronger .... that is the fix ...
