I installed an MGW race spec shifter on my '21 when it had 175 miles. At 250 miles I replaced the factory DCT Automatic transmission fluid with BG Syncro Shift 2 and 1 bottle of their Universal MGC friction modifier additive and whoah! The transmission is my favorite part on the car, it is amazing. Incredible, very precise and buttery smooth. I just bought a McLeod steel braided hydraulic clutch line that I need to install as well as a properly sized clutch slave to master cylinder hose from Wilwood (1/4'') inside diameter. The one from the factory, on brand new cars, is barely long enough to connect to the master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder and allows air to enter the system. I can't imagine the car shifting any better than it does now, but I am sure it will after replacing the plastic hydraulic clutch line with a stainless steel one, and then a proper fitting hose between the master and clutch slave cylinder that will not allow air to be introduced into the system. I really have resolve knowing that part of the satisfaction of owning one of these cars is also knowing the right combination of parts to put on them, making them run their best.

I definitely know what ur talking about. I've had experience with manual transmission with other cars and motorcycles but I currently have 2015 mustang gt and don't like the way it feels when shifting from 1st to 2nd especially. Thanks for the video. Love the mustang just don't like the shifting
Just bought a 13 GT with an upgraded MT82 and spec stage 3. Runs good but the spec is simply too hard for the street so I'm going with exedy stage 2 which was recommended by the tech guy at beefcake. Much more friendly on the street he says. I think the spec is putting too much shock through the trans and I'm getting occasional noise from the synchros which has me scared I'll be spending cash on a rebuild soon. SUCKS. Spec stage 3 is absolutely miserable on stop and go. Impossible to have a smooth take off.
I’ve got about 75k miles on my 2014 with the stock clutch/trans/shifter. I wonder if I could get by without doing the trans rebuild. No grinding issues, at least not yet. It would be nice to have a seamless experience when shifting at high rpm
I wouldn't go for the rebuild if you aren't having issues. the clutch and shifter will definitely help. still, upgrading the internals of the trans will make for a better experience and more reliability. my approach with my 2014 has been to treat gear changes a bit more gently. its not a race car, id rather have a slightly slower shift and no damage. these rebuild/upgrades are expensive! I have the same shifter and clutch in mine and love them both. MGW is a top notch company. extremely high quality and the best customer service I have ever experienced. 👍
pt 2: I actually just checked out your channel, I only use mine on the street which is why I mentioned shift times. you would probably love the shifter. nice driving👍
I got 2014 GT just got new rxt cluch and MGW shifter and am getting stuck in first gear so basically I drive then I come to a light I clutch in try to go to neutral but it’s just stuck have to force it hard to go to neutral and ideas what it could be?
I did a Steeda trans insert and a Steeda shifter bracket and it is so loud and vibrates so bad.. Everyone is telling me it's the trans insert.. I am going to pull it this weekend if the weather is nice and hope that calms things down..
In my opinion it is all in the clutch you really gotta kick that shit in at high rpm and youll still get a notchy shift you gotta have finesse im hoping a mcleod rst clutch and short throw shifter + syncroshift II trans fluid will make this trans more usable. Its definitely better since ive gotten used to it but i feel i can only push this car to 85% of what it can right now
If you got 100k out of the stock clutch you got plenty of life out of it. Clutches can go bad after 30k depending on if you live in a hot climate and beat on it. Most of the complaints are from people beating the crap out of their cars on the regular. If you just drive like a normal person and just get after it once in a while instead of slamming through the gears all day long... things will last a lot longer. If you want to race, then you need to upgrade to race spec, not stock. - 2014 Mustang GT owner.
I just installed the clutch spec stag 2+ on my 2014 and mcloud padl and and worked good for 2 weeks but there was locked in high rpm on 3 to 4 and 1 is not good I didn’t change the shifter and do nothing for the trans and now they told me the spec it’s not good so I don’t know
New to mustang and I have trouble from stop to 1st at lights and on hills ect... it makes a weird rattle noise when I get it somewhat right and other times when it give me trouble it won't accelerate and I have to try and milk the gas then it feels like it's going to stall and or die on me... its so bad I avoid hills now and get super anxiety when I have to come to a complete stop. I wish it would just shift smoothly from 0 to 1st no problems.. every other gear is fine on the highway no other issues for me just 0 to first... it smells kinda weird as well and makes a rattling noise when I go from 0 to first in town at about 2'500 - 3'500 rpms
its possible that you may just need a clutch replacement. normal wear item. I replaced the clutch on my 2014 at around 75k miles as the third owner. when you say it won't accelerate it sounds like the clutch trying to grab but is slipping (this would create a smell as well). going from a stand still we tend to slip the clutch a bit more than like a 1-2 shift which I would think is why you are only having the problem in first. This would also make hill starts sketchy. I have the exedy clutch mentioned in the video and I've been very happy with it. I bought the kit off American muscle. good luck.
@@caseynaylor5564 I took it to my mechanic they said the clutch was fine... it does have 2 vacuum leaks and is running lean I'm planning on fixing the leaks and going from there. Hopefully it's as simple as that and nothing more lol
Is it an aftermarket racing clutch? If it is, that is normal operation. Racing clutches aren't sprung with dampeners. You just have to learn where the catch points are and get better...
The cure is bite the bullet and do a T56 magnum XL swap, Nothing you do to a MT82 that will make it comparable. I don't care if you get a stage 3 Calimer that has G-force gears, its still garbage. The shifts on a T56 is so nice without the dumb remote shifter. Changing to a remote reservoir solves when the clutch drops pressure because the stock one feeds off the break reservoir.
this video deserves more attention

Was your transmission built by Tex’s transmission in Lawrenceburg Kentucky?
yes, it was
Mr. Rodgers..is that you talking about a mt82??
What type of build you did to your transmission mt82?
Any reason why you didn’t go with the Calimer stage2 rebuild? Also, what would Tex Trans charge for the stage2 straight up?
Because stage 2 is trash

Which transmission shop rebuilt the transmission?
Does is still feel smooth, no grinding ?
What extended car warranty did you get ?
My only problem is it wont go into 1st and 2nd somtimes more often 2nd
Where I can get the carbon syncros? I've searched but nothing specific for the mt82.
