Never mind the Land Rovers and the Transit Vans. We don't know for a fact that they are identical transmissions. Only a Ford or Getrag engineer can tell us that at this point in time.
How many Mustangs have been manufactured with M-82 transmissions and of those, how many have documented issues? You don't know and I don't know. It's merely supposition on your part.
Until someone can offer proof with numbers I will continue to believe the minority are unlucky and the majority are satisfied with their M-82 transmissions.
That's all I have to say and that's all I'm going to say!

That speaks volumes. Not sure why some are in denial, but this transmission is clearly problematic... in 3 different vehicles now we're hearing IDENTICAL stories of grinding gears, inability to engage gears, destroyed synchronizers and complete failures at extremely low miles. Does that mean if yours is functioning OK that it will break? No. And I'm happy for you and, to be honest, jealous that you're car is still functioning like it should while mine is stuck on the street outside of my house with, yet, ANOTHER failed MT82.

this annoying, just keep complaining the same **** again and again, this is not the first time new mustang have problem. If YOU are a true mustang fans, you wont complain about all day long about how **** the mustang is, instead, you should do something to fix it. i replace the clutch right away after i got the car to support my supercharger, over 10k mile with nothing happens. you know, even 5 out of 10 people have problems with their mustangs, you just cant stop the passion they have with their mustangs
dont take your problem to a placebo effect....if brand new car hurt your heart, go law suit, go buy Europe cars..i wont go back here again..say what ever you want...

500 miles: clutch goes
1000 miles: transmission goes
1500 miles: clutch/flywheel/clutch slave goes
4000 miles: transmission fails
When I spend my hard earned $40,000, the car should work. And my story isn't unique... it's becoming the norm. I'm the biggest mustang fan of all... wanted one my whole life after owning foreign cars. Got one, and this mess.
If you don't like the complaining by fellow owners with defective cars, don't be mad at US... be mad at Ford for importing the clutch from Turkey and the transmission from China.

And never mind the fact that I work on cars everyday...

Also, the hell with the defender 2, I was talking about the brand in general.
I'm sorry you have those issues with your Stang Sir, after wanting one for so long and all...
I would be turned off about the car as well.
Maybe a Shelby would suit you better.
