The 2024 Ford Mustang GT Has 1 Glaring Issue

The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is the most powerful GT

What’s more, the V8-powered pony car is available

[{"selector":"#anim-2d2782e1-1119-4f76-8381-b83d8ad5d8f0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.225066375436132%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b37d0712-0e53-4778-85c7-a40f39367cd0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ccdd1c5-f6c0-4fe8-ba71-7225d8d2f861","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

with a manual transmission in a landscape of dwindling stick-shift options.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8730ba6-04c6-4b1c-9cd6-a15429898420 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.787452742074777%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0aacd1dc-cbf7-4dec-bc81-7b2e754d89eb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-220a0316-d68c-471a-a252-0eb698f93169","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, there is an issue with the Mustang’s six-speed manual transmission

[{"selector":"#anim-484fe231-2508-49be-bc08-03f3be30b1f3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c20ee7b7-f940-4476-b749-6bc0b25401d2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1f58f0fd-42ba-4d84-80b4-a15862539601","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

namely a Getrag-sourced MT82 with a problematic reputation.

Ford has been putting the Getrag MT82 six-speed manual transmission in its Mustang lineup

[{"selector":"#anim-2952eaa1-9fe2-450e-9b23-2b16b564ed8a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.240568296631277%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e45ccbd-2a37-4fac-b4ff-fd7af96f80a1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-32e43527-b443-49a1-aaf5-6ee4b4078a75","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

While Mustang fans are excited about the return of the nameplate for its seventh generation,

[{"selector":"#anim-d6e8fbbd-0f51-42d4-bc4e-629990e93b5d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.228056241872192%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dcbb68e3-4746-4c62-b1db-c047e433d807","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10260fea-37fd-4fbd-8535-1a8751796af6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

the MT82’s return in the GT could be problematic.

[{"selector":"#anim-db322e2f-bf82-4184-9322-176850e63b7e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.846964807268884%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a27ce6b-0d81-4f27-931b-279e838c6051","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e924d73a-6456-401b-8fc9-44a91908349c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In its time with the Ford Mustang, the Getrag-sourced transmission has exhibited grinding,

[{"selector":"#anim-476a3d5b-3f96-47ef-a514-0114a81248e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749786673241%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47eec790-b454-464c-907d-4f5c6974d750","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f85e5234-71ff-4e59-858f-c48a01a76d8c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In fact, the transmission was the source of a lawsuit.
