I currently drive a 2012 ford mustang gt coupe (this site will not let me select a 2012 mustang from the drop down menu, only 2011), purchased 3/11/11. it is currently experiencing a "clutch stay out" problem. it is a six speed manual transmission. when shifting from first to second gear at high rpm, the clutch will not release for the shift until the rpms fall back below a certain level. i am unsure if this holds true for all the gears as my car is still fairly new and in break-in and i haven't taken any gear past 5k rpm. that said, the physical experience goes like this, "take first gear past 3k rpm, shift to second, car bucks, rpms fall, second is then engaged, car lurches/lunges forward after the clutch "catches" and then it launches one forward unpredictably." this has happened to me every time i have shifted the car into second gear after taking first gear past 3k rpm. *tr
The manual transmission in my 2011 ford mustang gt has given me problems for the past year of ownership. there have been multiple incidents where the transmission will not go into 2nd gear. the gear appears/feels to be "locked out". this has happened while pulling out across on-coming traffic, and i have had numerous close calls. i also have horrible gear while/noise, and grinding shifts almost all the time. ford has rebuilt my transmission, but refuses to do anything else with the car. they claim that this is "normal" for this car. my wife drives the vehicle, and i fear for her safety. please help me! *tr
