^ and what is this new oil?
Its really hard for me to figure out my transmission issues after reading all these MT82 threads. My issue is completely the opposite from everyone elses.
In the mornings when my engine and tranny is cold, my tranny shifts smooth as butter in all gears. 10-15 minutes into my drive, my 1-2 shift starts getting notchy and then 5 minutes later it turns in to random 2nd gear lockouts.
I should note the 2nd gear lock outs only occur when shifting slowly in to the gear. If I speed the shift up, it USUALLY goes in without issues.
I dont even want to take it to the dealership because I know they will tell me couldnt replicate it BS.
Any ideas?

Changed to Amsoil MTG yesterday. It was way worse with the factory non TSB fluid. What fluid would you recommend? Im in Hawaii and temps never go below 65 F?Sounds like you have a lubricant that is too thin in your car. Maybe even the TSB fluid.
Or still has the 1-2 skip shift lol

Tried an aftermarket shifter yet?
Sounds like that spacer mod to the shifter base might help in your case, that one seems to specifically target the 2nd gear lock out issuesJust uninstalled my Hurst and went back to the stock shifter. Thats when the shitty 1-2 shifts started. Funny thing is, it never did it before the Hurst......
Currently the 2-3-4-5-6 shifts are butter all the time cold or warm. Only complaint is the 2nd gear lock out when the fluid temp warms up.

Spacer mod? That's the first I've heard of that one.
Its burried in a thread on allfordmustangs. Basically if you specific issue is 2nd gear lock out, one guy added a few washers in between the shifter base and its mount..this gave the shifter a bit more space to fully engage second gear by slightly changing the linkage geometry
Thanks for the link also. I will be tring this spacer mod out in a couple hours and will report back with the results. Just to confirm, the washer go BEHIND the bracket correct??
Fingers crossed, lol.

i think this is partially true2. noise from the gearbox is only an annoyance, not a problem. There is a remarkably simple solution that takes about an hour and some Dynamat to apply. Noise is managed at that point. If you get good shifting and hate the noise, there's a solution. What's absolutely mind-boggling is that Ford respecified the transmission oil from QDC to QS in the dying moments of pre-launch testing to cure the gear noise issue when there was a simpler and cheaper solution staring them in the face!
