Driveline=DEAD
I guess after 5400 miles of my abusive driving the transmission decided to get locked in 2nd gear. Won't come out. There's play in the shifter in the 3-4th and 5-6th notch but no reverse or 1-2nd. No amount of forcing will get it out. I even kicked it Repeatedly( I had been drinking) Luckily I was on a hill when it decided to not come out of second. Therefore the clutch is now smoked. Then out of rage I dumped it at 7 grand and the clutch pedal didnt come out of the floor , the clutch intermittently engaged then disengaged burning it up more. Does this happen typically ? HAHA I love warranty.

Really dude you think if you kick and bend parts and abuse the crap out of it that they are not going to know. Is it going to be funny when they deny you warranty coverage. And they probably will. Bent parts are not a manufacturers defect. It must be nice to have the money to go out and buy a new car and then beat the crap out of it. Then brag about it on this forum, and have a who cares attitude. And also I have no respect for anyone that drives drunk.

So let's see...
You were drunk and were going to drive. But your tranny was stuck in gear so you kicked the living sh*t out of it and then ask if this is normal.
You really ARE a dumb phuk. And of course, all in good fun.

Considering that you did not have any mods on your car, it seems like the dealerships tend to warranty breakage even if you drove the **** out of your car.
The reason being is they do not have the mods as an excuse to deny warranty coverage.
Do bear in mind that according to the Ford engineers, the very guys who designed the 5.0L Coyote, they say the MT82 is rated only to take about 380 ft-lbf at the crank while the Coyote is capable of producing 390 ft-lbf crank.
That is not much of an overpower, but it could be possible that by certain down shifting situations, you could do a number to your MT82. I bet you probably screwed up your shifting fork on you MT82.
Heck, a professional modder F***ed up his MT82 with only naturally aspirated mods and a tune. His particular MT82 got locked into 3rd gear.

Yeah, I agree. He is dumb for getting into his $30,000+ Coyote while intoxicated, destroying the tranny, and then proceeding to kick the hell out of the stick to try to get it unstuck when the shifting fork is FUBAR.
