I just recently purchase this mustang and didnt notice it before but I do now. In order to shift from 1st to 2nd I have to ease it in. I cant just shift fast and I am not sure if it is the clutch or maybe a synchro. It also does it in 3rd but not as bad. I am not experiencing any slipping in the clutch as of now. Called ford and they say it might be the clutch, but they would need to take a look at it first, another 80 bucks just to 'look' at it. Anyway, any ideas or similar problems out there?????

Oh yeah, just in case, I have a 2006 v6 with 21k on it. Do not know the history of the owner prior to me. Who knows how they drove it.

 

take it to a Ford dealership its still under warranty so it wont cost you any thing tell them whats wrong and they will look at it and if there is something wrong at least thats the way it should work

Definitely , the dealer should not ask for one red cent

 

$80 to look at something that might be covered under warranty?
Make sure they don't leave the crack pipe near the flammable oil drums.

 

they usually have some kind of service fee to check it out

 

I took my car in to listen to a whine in the tranny. They did not charge me a nickle.

 

My 1st and 2nd gear on my '07 have always been very stiff. I have to really yank it down into 2nd. I think it's mostly a product of the Scheiss T5 transmission that was better suited for a minivan than a Mustang.

 

I'm going to take it in and hope for the best. I hope whatever it is, its under warranty. Thanks for the input everyone.
