Hey guys, so this 2012 Boss is my second Mustang and the history with this issue is why I need to post to get some opinions...
My 07 GT was the car I learned stick on. Granted, I could drive a stick prior but owning versus knowing how are obviously different things. The problem I have now is almost identical to what I saw a couple years after getting my GT. Question I have is, are the synchros starting to fail on me like with my 07?
Symptom: Heavy acceleration in first gear, anything over 6k rpm when I try to speed shift (not power shift but actually lifting off the gas and giving a good clutch stab).
The car just will not let me shift into second without the lovely scratch noise you get when grinding gears. I can get in just fine, just not without the horrible grinding noise.
I hear you guys talking about the shifter bracket replacement mod helping but really want to keep this beast as stock as possible. Definetley don't want to void my extended warranty or cause the value of the car to suffer.
Input/ideas?
Thanks all!
