Default Transmission/clutch problems??

Ok well ive noticed its pretty hard to get into reverse in my 07 gt manual.
It seems to be getting worse, or either i just notice it more. Is this normal or should i take it to ford for a look over? i only have about 600 miles left on my warranty so should i risk waiting?

i would take it in, if i were in your
position. at least let them diagnose
the problem and maybe it will even
be covered, you never know.

woulc the transmission be the problem or the clutch?

It would rock if they could drop a new transmission in. but probably not really needed.

They won't put a new transmission it the car without an act from god, but I would have them look at it before the warranty is up.

Does it get easier to get into reverse if you put it in 1st gear first?

If it were the clutch, then it should be hard to get into 1st and you'd have problems with other gears.

they sure will give him a new trans if it's busted to the point of beyond fixing.i won't say what dealer in mass gave me a new 1 but it only cost me $200.00 and a week loss of the car.i also had a vortech s-trim on it to.

it could also be the TOB the stock ones suck.because they can't hold alot of pressure.

Again, it would be hard to get into 1st and the clutch wouldn't fully disengage, it would also creep forward at idle when you rev it. So far all the aftermarket ones suck as well. I wouldn't say the stock ones suck, they seem to work fine with a stock clutch and a lot of people are using them with performance clutches without problems.
