Tranny Problems
 

Hey Guys/Gals, New to the forum. I own a Green 96 GT...just recently got it and still stock (for now).

Anyway, I've have some troubles with my transmission (t-45 I think). I've having problems shifting into reverse. It feels fine going in, but as soon as I let the clutch out it pops back out of gear and grinds a little. This doesn't happen all the time, but enough to piss me off.

I done some web surfing and came up with this service bulletin

Technical Service Bulletins Summary

Summary Description:

SOME VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE T45 MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAY EXHIBIT A CONDITION OF BEING STUCK IN REVERSE, DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR MAY POP OUT OF REVERSE. *TT


Ford must have realized there is a problem with the T-45, have any of who guys ever heard of this before? Any Suggestions?

Unfortunately, T-45 problems are quite frequent. A new one can be picked up for under 1k at D&D performance. Make sure your shifter stops are adjusted correctly if you have an aftermarket shifter though. You'd be suprised how often that is the problem.

:)

Thanks for the advice.

It's just the stock shifter though. What gets me is it was fine last summer, I stored it over the winter and now that I have it back out it almost started right away.

I just changed the fluid and added some Moly Slip additive, it seems a little better(I think that's just high hopes), but I think I'm going to be into some Transmission problems.
