So, after 14k miles i git myself the good ole mt82. Whine. Was hesitant about what would happen taking car to dealer with all my mods, but just said fuck amd took the plunge. Took it to a dealer in Albuquerque who took a week to decifer but finally got green light from Ford to make the repair... New tranny you ask, no, they tolde on back order until 2025. Yes, 2025. I asked multiple times but they werent going to tell me the real story... So they decided to replace every part, syncro, bearing, input shaft, etcc...
3 weeks later part arrive, at this point i had been calling daily Asking why the hell they still had my car. On top of it i hadade it clear two weeks prior i was moving. Still they drag their feet. Once car was ready to get parts installed it was four day until i had to move. Apparently after they install the parts they would need to special order shims which take a few dayz to deliver. So after a month and a fucking half ofy gargae queen baking in the sun and getting rained on almost daily i get it back the way i left it. Well not quite. While it was being loaded the car carrier guy showed me all the bolts that were missing connecting the bell house, what a fucking joke.
Sooo... Now in phoenix take my car to another dealer assuming i can have old dealer send info on fords tranny approval. Of course moone in NM answers phones so new dealer checks ot out anyways. A week and a half later they call me with ford approval for new tranny. Supposed to be in over two days but of course inhabe to make dhitty calls and speak to manager to get anything done. Two weeks later car is finally ready to go after almost three months of BS.
Long read i know, but before i took car in i did major research on warranty upon modding of this car. And to be cleared ny two different dealers will hopefully shed some light. Between them just wanting the warranty work and the "mustang" tech driving with me to hear the whine (which upon me mentioning the whine before driving he talked about what a POS tranny it is). We can maybe feel confident about gettong warranty without having to take car to stock. Hope this helped someone out there.
Typed this on my phone so probably many spelling and grammer errors. And noticed in sig, i also have short shifter and bracket
