While driving the clutch pedal will stick to the floor after shifting gears. You can pull the pedal up manually and it will functioning properly for a while but will repeat sticking to the floor. May happen once a day, once a week or more often. Ambient temperature has no affect to the problem. Car currently has 15,000 miles on
The 6 speed manual transmission grinds and/or locks out of gear when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The car bucks and surges, worse when going downhill. It makes a knocking noise when there is a torque change.
Purchased car new in 2014 and noticed vibration in transmission upon deceleration. I was informed by the dealer that this was a known issue but it was not going to cause and long term issues, after the warranty had expired I started experiencing shifting issues intermitently, I have contacted the dealer on several occasions as this has progessivley gotten worse to check for known issues or if they were going to do anything about it. Now with 85000 miles the car is virtually undriveable and wont shift into second gear and still has the vibration. Ford customer service says there is nothing they can do and still says they do not know of any issues with this transmission even though there has been a class action suit started.
The car would loose power and not shift properly. After a year of trying to diagnose the trouble it was the output speed sensor. Finally got a trouble code. Ford recalled the 2011 & 2012 Mustangs but not mine. The output speed sensor is the exact same part number for the recalled years and mine.
Every since I bought this 2014 Mustang GT with the getrag M-82 6 speed manual transmission it has had nothing but shifting problems third gear lock out, notche shifting since I've bought it is Ford ever going to recall and fix these transmission problems? this is my daily driver and it does it every day when I'm driving.

My 2014 Ford Mustang with 6 speed manual transmission shakes, sometimes violently, when downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear. It also shakes when the gas pedal is let up when in second gear. I have had it in for repair several times, and I have been told that it is a known transmission problem that is not covered by warranty. This is not my first manual transmission vehicle, and I have never had a car shake while driving. Purchased the car in 2015 and the problem has been from day one.
Air conditioner clutch catastrophically failed at 52000 miles. This creates a visibility problem when the interior windshield is fogged up as it cannot be properly defogged while driving. This is the second major component to failure on this vehicle in 5 weeks, as the water pump went out August 10th while driving and dumped all the coolant, quickly overheating the motor.
Having rear end whinning noise, Ford worked on rear end components 6 times now. The last repair they did the replaced housing and carrier- pretty much brand new rear end. I'm still having rear end noise and they refuse me of any further repairs. Vehicle is in motion when I hear this noise only when accelerating, as soon as I take my foot off the gas it stops. I have a long history of this problem with them in Ford records.
I was driving using the tectonic shifting on my automatic V8 Mustang and I was coming to a stop and lowering the gears my car started accelerating on its own and it was very difficult to stop. My foot was not on the gas and it was going, increased speed unexpectedly.
I was at a red light, light turns green, I take off in 1st gear and the car starts to hesitate. I try accelerating a little more, thinking that maybe I'm not giving it enough gas but it limped even harder. Then, the power train light comes on.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Mustang. While driving approximately 10 mph in first gear, the gear shifter would not move to second gear. The contact had to pull over to the side of the road to a complete stop. The contact attempted to drive the vehicle again, but it would not allow him to switch to second gear. The contact forced the gear shifter to fourth gear. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the skip shift was a standard manufacturer feature in all manual transmission vehicles, which allows it to skip second and third gears for less fuel consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
Driving he car at about 40mph mostly in traffic I lost completely the throttle and I can't accelerate and show the wrench light in the cluster. I have to completely stop put the car in park turn off and wait a few minutes and the car will work again for a few hours some time days with out problem but this happen with out any warning. When I get the car to the repair shop I found the dtc P2111. I did a PCM reprogram with the latest calibration files from the motorcraft service web site. But I still have the problem, Y wondering that some day I will cause a accident to me and some body else. I hope somebody take consideration of this problem in my car and a lot more that I was reading in the Ford forum. As I know I'm not the only one with this kind of problem in Ford vehicles. Thank you very much
I just got this car used took it in for a noise in the transmission in 5th gear knowing it is under warranty the Ford dealer started the work on the car three days later I was told that it was abused and not under warranty I was told that the old owner changed the clutch that caused the damage I find that hard to believe this car is not modified in any was so why the clutch and I have read all of the 5th gear problems like mine. They have told me the repair is 3400. To fix and if they put it back together it will be 500 or 600 I didn't give them written or warble permission to do this so I don't know how I will handle it. This is a on going problem with this transmission I'm trying to work it out with the dealer but I don't know how it will go.

I am having problems with the transmission shifting from 1-2-3 when cold. The transmission does not want to go into 1st or 2nd without grinding and will grind an pop out of 3rd when trying to shift into it sometimes. I have been to the Ford dealer and was told that Ford knows about the grinding issue in the Mustang but will do nothing to fix it. I was told by the Ford service advisor that Ford was doing a fluid change to a heavier trans fluid and now they have stopped. Now I am left with a brand new Mustang that grinds the gears every day.
When downshifting in the manual transmission version of this vehicle, the car doesn't slow down on any decline and instead accelerates (without touching the gas pedal). Also, while slowing down on a flat road (at 1,500 to 1,700rpm) the car accelerates by itself and fights the brakes while in gear.
Stopped vehicle in parking lot after traveling approximately 10 miles. Placed the car in park for about 10 minutes, then attempted to put in reverse. Shifter was stuck in park. Had to have towed to dealership.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the engine RPM's increased but the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission wiring harness was faulty. The vehicle was repaired but the defect recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power train control module was defective. The power train control module was replaced but the defect recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 660.
While driving the Mustang (which is a manual transmission) I noticed that the speed of the car doesn't decelerate when I take my foot off the gas pedal. The car is given gas (more than an idle amount) when I do not depress the gas pedal. It happens in all 6 gears but it's most noticeable when in first or second. Also, while the car is in gear, the engine fights to slow down while depressing the brake pedal. This doesn't happen every time but when it occurs while in a parking lot with people around it becomes a serious safety issue.
Failure of front drivers side lower control arm, failure of driveshaft, failure of rear end and suspension. Symptoms' lower control arm- banging noise that sounds like the strut had no fluid. Driveshaft banging noise as if the shaft splines had stripped or cv joint loose failure was caught before it damaged the car. Rear end, whining noise and banging noise from suspension upon take off, manual trans car. Eventual lock up of rear end. Car uncontrollable wondering from rear of car. Ford only recognizes the control arm as an issue, and has a recall. Numerous complaints to Ford for the driveshaft and rear end issues. V6 and V8 cars with manual trans.
