2011 M6 GT won't go into any gear????

There is a TSB on the pressure plate issue for certain build dates. So they technically should since it was an engineering design flaw.

Do you have that TSB?

 

[VTXFrank]

Look in the TSB sticky at the top of this section. Good luck!!

Transmission grenaded itself internally. It's pretty much welded together. The tech couldn't even get it apart. They had to order a completely new transmission from the Dearborn assembly plant.

Sorry to hear that. So I guess they are covering it under warranty for you which is good to hear. Are they gonna replace the clutch assembly also?

 

[mr. anderson]

wow, did you verify that this will be covered under warranty?

 

[Seer]

Most dealers will give you a repair bill prior to ordering parts. Unless its a warranty job, then they just go and order.

 

[DDTCM]

Hope you get it covered,that sucks.

Little off topic but is there some preventative maintanance to help these pressure plates bolts from backing out?

 

[BPatterson]

They told me Ford recommended the new tranny, and I'm sure a new clutch as well. Will verify that tomorrow. Also, they were told to give me a loaner vehicle. There was no talk of any charges, so I'm assuming Ford is covering this. I didn't just want to come out and ask if it was being covered under warranty, for fear of them thinking I was guilty of something. I assumed like Seer said above, that if Ford wasn't going to pay for it, they would talk to me about pricing, what needed to be done, and if I wanted to move forward with them repairing it at my expense.

 

[stevenstarke]

yea don't ask directly if its being covered, if anything just say "This is all taken care of right?"

That's CRAZY that that happened. Did you push down at all on the reverse lockout when you shifted 1-2?

 

[BPatterson]

Not that I'm aware of. Was just making a quick 1-2 shift, nothing out of the ordinary. The tranny had been whining in the first few gears for the past few weeks.

 

[atistang]

fyi also, the clutch warranty is 12 months/12k miles. so it all comes down to when you bought the car since it has only 7,500 miles on it.

Are you sure about that? Bumper to bumper is 3 year 36k, powertrain is 5yr

 

[Seer]

Clutches are considered wear items, and those items have a 1yr/12k miles.

 

[mr. anderson]

yup, clutch is a wear item. just like your brake pads. so they may cover the master and slave cylinder but the clutch disc and pressure plate are wear items. just like they would cover your brake calipers, but not your brake pads, wear items have a shorter warranty.


see you beat me to the post Seer

 

[Fast351]

On the other hand, if it's a component failure, not a component wearout, they should cover it. IE if the clutch explodes, pressure plate bolts back out, etc.

 

[BPatterson]

Which my pressure plate, clutch disc, and flywheel are pretty much welded together, so I'll have to have a new one.

 

[Trav4011]

With all of the negative publicity surrounding the MT-82, I'm sure that Ford is going to cover this, no questions asked.

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Shifter bracket should solve a lot of this. Spirited driving sometimes "moves" the shifter out of place so the alignment is off. The stock bracket looks like someone who flunked basic mechanical engineering designed it.

I know, right!

Who was the genius at Ford who thought this would be sufficient?

probably some durka durka

Picked up my loaner Fusion this morning.
