MT82 MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION COLD SHIFT EFFORT
TSB 11-3-18
FORD:
2011-2012 Mustang
ISSUE
Some 2011-2012 Mustang vehicles equipped with a MT82 6-speed manual transmission may exhibit increased shift efforts in cold ambient temperatures. This is usually most noticeable in 1st and 2nd gears but may also be noticed in 3rd through 6th gears. The increased shift effort may be the result of the increased viscosity of the transmission fluid in cold weather.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Replace the MotorcraftFull Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid with 2.6L (2.7 qt) of Motorcraft Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 308-03A for the transmission fluid draining and filling procedure.
This fluid is suitable for use in all ambient temperatures and seasons, and the Scheduled Maintenance guidelines in the Owner Guide can continue to be followed.
The use of friction modifiers or other fluid additives is not recommended since although they may provide some immediate improvement in cold shift effort, they are likely to result in long term degradation of the synchronizers.
WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited

The fallacy here: the chinese made MT82 is not even $1000 cheaper than a GT equipped with Ford's own made in America 6R80 auto tranny!
I hate it when people say that an American made tranny would make the GT cost over $40K because optioning in the auto 6spd American made 6R80 costs just a little bit less than $1000 more to the vehicle sale price.

I hate outsourcing. CEOs are the devil for doing this sort of thing. CEOs cause hard working Americans to lose their good paying jobs and benefits by sending jobs to China, India, and dozens more 3rd world countries to exploit slave wage labor and Zero EPA laws.
