Consumer Description

WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED ON AN ON RAMP OR PASSING ON A TWO LA E ROAD, WHEN SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE, ONCE MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME ON A TWO LANE ROAD, GOING FROM SECOND TO THIRD WHILE PASSING, THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW IT. PEOPLE HAVE NOTED THIS MANY PLACES WHILE RUNNING OUT SECOND GEAR AND SHIFTING INTO THIRD IN MULTI SITUATIONS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND IT IS KNOWN DUE TO THE SHIFTER NOT BEING DIRECT AND USING A REMOTE LINKAGE. AN AFTERMARKET BRACKET AND SHIFTER WILL FIX THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE SHOULD OPERATE SAFELY WITHOUT PURCHASING AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. SIMPLE LOOK UP MISSED SHIFTS WITH MT-82 MUSTANG TRANSMISSION. YOU WILL SEE MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD.
