Car in the shop!

[re-rx7]

Finally took my car in for the tranny whine. It was gettin ridiculous. Any idea on what it probably is? I also got a Hyundai accent rental! Boo yah!

[Dominic Toretto]

No idea. I'm sure some of the guys with manuals will chime in soon enough though.

[Bacadiesel]

Mines pretty loud too. Let me know where you took it to and if they are gonna fix it under warranty.

[JDMLOL]

The problem is that it's an mt-82 and they are outsourced using the cheapest labor and materials possible.

[re-rx7]

Mines at Blake utter ford in Sherman. I had the cert pre owned warranty. It's all covered.

[Bacadiesel]

I just made an appointment tomorrow to take mine in at 5 star ford in nrh.

[re-rx7]

Looks like it's gna be in till nxt wk. This Hyundai accent is shit but damn the mileage is awesome!

[Dominic Toretto]

Has the stealership updated you on the car?

-Alex

[Bacadiesel]

I didn't get a rental dammit. And they said they are a week behind schedule so they will prob look at mine Friday or so. I'm thinking I prob won't get my car back till next year

[Dominic Toretto]

Are they still going to fix it under the warranty with the tune you have?

-Alex

[Bacadiesel]

I'm pretty sure they are. They haven't looked at the vehicle yet but I'm gonna pissed of they deny transmission work because I have a tune

Trans is out. Input shaft bearing they think might be the culprit. Maybe. Rental was covered under my cert pre-owned warranty.

at idle i hear a whine with the trans in neutral and clutch released. when i push the clutch the whine goes away. i also have a whine in 1st-3rd gear. this the same as yours?

[re-rx7]

No mine just whines in gears 1-4. 5 and 6 are fine. Some of yours sounds like a throw out bearing. Update on mine trans is out and tire apart. Waiting on parts.

damn they need to learn how to be organized.

[Bacadiesel]

So was it the input shaft bearing. 2nd pic I input shaft on the right?

[re-rx7]

Guy has worked there for 20+ years. All he does is trans and rear end work. Legit.

I believe so. Parts will be in tomorrow.

[Courtesy Flush]

Is the car at a dealership getting repaired?

If so which one?

[Bacadiesel]

I just got an update with mine, they said they will need to tear it down and replace parts and if it still whines after that then ford will send a whole new unit. But the bad part is that they said it's gonna be like 3 weeks before they can get parts because of holidays. So my car will be at the dealer for a month. I told them to go ahead and keep it and work on it, I told them I just want it fixed. FOR FREE!!!!!

Blake Utter Ford in Denison. My dad is the mgr there.

Same thing they told me. Parts only took a day for me? They may just be telling you that because they are so backed up.

One mans chaos is another's organization.

[Bacadiesel]

Hey I just thought about this, you think it would be a good idea to put new updated clutch pressure plate bolts in while Trans is out?

[re-rx7]

I thought the same thing and have no input really.

[toomnymods]

now would be awesome time to add in a upgraded clutch for free :) well the labor part anyways,lol

[re-rx7]

Truf!! For my power level Im fine. Im glad they removed the stock h so that when I put mine on it will be a breeze. Lol

[Bacadiesel]

I ordered new pressure plate bolts from ford. They are going to out them on. Atleast they way they can make sure they are torqued correctly

[re-rx7]

Delay. Needs main shaft bearing. Be here tomorrow.

[re-rx7]

Bearig came in today!! Trans back together

[Bacadiesel]

[Dominic Toretto]

-Alex

[re-rx7]

Lmk and I will set you up with Steve the service MGR. Cool guy and straight up.

[Bacadiesel]

[Dominic Toretto]

What's the status?

-Alex

[Bacadiesel]

Ok another update on my car, just got a call from service advisor that my car is put back together but still whining. So I will be getting a 2014 brand new mt82. He didn't give me a time frame but probably another 2 weeks

I guess that's sort of good news.

-Alex

[re-rx7]

Mine still whines a tad but not enough for me to get pissed. Im gna wait till about 80k and take it back in LOL.

[Bacadiesel]

I got another update on my Trans. They said that ford didn't authorized to replace whole unit but instead to rebuild it again with even more parts. This sucks I told him if prefer a new one specially if they already failed at rebuilding it. And it's going to be 30 days in the shop this Saturday, service advisor said they have to get it done by the 30 day mark. Dammit I'm mad

OUCH! That sucks bro, sorry to hear the bad news. But what happens if it is not done by the 30 days? Also, do they have to supply you a rental since this is warranty work?

-Alex

[Bacadiesel]

Idk I think the dealer gets in trouble for taking too long on warranty repairs. They don't offer rentals

[re-rx7]

They do. LMK if it doesnt fix it. I will put you in touch with my service mgr.

[Bacadiesel]

Ok thanks. I think I'm done dealing with five star ford

[JDMLOL]

I havent had much luck with any ford dealer. They all take forever, are horrible communicating, and wont look at cars if they have so much as an aftermarket air filter.

[rriddle3]

On themustangforum.com there is a Ford service rep named Deysha who prowls the posts and is very good about escalating issues to the appropriate Regional Rep when there is an issue with a Ford dealer's service. I and others have been helped.

[re-rx7]

Tellin y'all give my guy a shot. Lil bit of a drive but they get shit done.

[Bacadiesel]

Don't know if anyone cares but just got another update on my Trans. They rebuilt it once again and still whining so ford authorized a new unit. The weird thing is they got the new unit in like 2 days, idk if I believe this. I think what they are doing is removing one from a car on the lot and installing it on mine. I've done that before when I worked for dodge because some stuff was on intergalactic back order for like a month. Service advisor said it may be ready late this week. I'm excited, its been about 40 days since I last saw my car.

[Crimson600+HP]

Let's hope that is not what they are doing (for the sake of a future owner). Either way here is to hoping your baby gets back to you this week in top shape!

[DirtyD]

Awesome man! Glad you are finally getting it back! Hopefully they did get a new unit from Ford.

[my95z28]

Glad that you are getting a new trans! I have to say, if I was without a car for 40 days I would be throwing a shit fit!

[five.slow]

Fuck all that I just traded the car in lol. When my tires get worn I'm gonna trade it in for another car lol.

[ThunderkissGT14]

i wonder if you guys are talking about the same issue i brought up with autonation after about 500 miles on my 14. First and second gear taking off real slow and easy, you get a grinding clunky noise from underneath...sounds kinda like a garbage truck. Took it in and complained about it. jumped in another 14 same 3.55 ratio with 5 miles didn't do it. They got intouch with ford and got a response back that its "gear lash" and common with MT82 and is considered normal by them. So i ask what about the other 14 that doesnt do it?

"well after enough miles it will". pffft.

so for now i either turn up my radio or was told by them to change my driving habits to reduce said noise. and by that they mean rev it higher before releasing clutch and taking off faster everywhere i go. PFfft. fuck that, i baby my car 90% of the time.

still not happy with the apathy though.

and all i can do from here is hope passengers dont notice or ask about my awesome new muscle car making weird noises and that the actual cause of the grinding noise doesn't mean something somewhere isn't jiving like it should and will mean problems down the road for me.

Take it to another stealership. Transmissions are not supposed to sound broken unless they are broken.

[NZERO21]

I understand what you are talking about and I took mine to Autonation as well. However, I had a much different experience. They only took about a week to work on mine and I had an opportunity to explain to them the same issue with 1st and 2nd gear being too slow. The transmission mechanic was cool enough to call me up and let me know exactly what he ended up doing. In the end, he re-flashed the software and replaced some bearings. When I got the car back, my brother (who had driven the car as well) and I noticed a huge difference. The pickup was much better on 1st and 2nd gear and did not lag! The only downside is that I did notice that my MPG on my screen was lower before the re-falsh on a full tank. Oh well, I did not buy the car for MPG even though I was in the market for one when I bought the Mustang. Go figure. lol.

[ThunderkissGT14]

hmm... i dunno autonation gives me the fuckin run around. How does taking it to other dealerships work? dont they want you to take it to the one you bought it from?

and when you say lag, did you have a auto or something? i feels and functions like normal i suppose, but it does make noise.

[Bacadiesel]

Mine was just whining like a supercharger in all forward gears except 5th

Take it to whatever dealer you want. I purchased mine at 5star in Carrollton, after a service advisor there not being able to answer a single question I would ask... I went to grapevine. Car is there now for multiple issues engine/tranny/axle and so far I have been nothing but pleased.
