Your thinking is spot on,that is why we pay for warranties,let Ford worry about it.
Harder to shift in gear when trans/shifter heat up?
Trying to troubleshoot something I've noticed recently. After stop and go driving, or on a very hot day and city driving, I notice that the car is harder to shift. Not like the MT82 issues, where it won't go into gear, but any movement of the shifter is quite a bit stiffer than on a cold start (ambient temps in the mid-70s). The car is equipped with a Steeda Tri-Ax, but I don't know if that's the root cause.
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions for a resolution? I'm thinking a dealer visit is necessary soon.

you might want to get rid of the short shifter before you take it to ford.
I was thinking of taking it out anyways. Trying to rule out anything that could cause it.you might want to get rid of the short shifter before you take it to ford.
Who installed the shifter? Sounds like the boot might not be in right.I was thinking of taking it out anyways. Trying to rule out anything that could cause it.
Did they change the fluid too?
I installed the shifter and made sure the boot was aligned properly per Steeda instructions. No fluid was changed. It has not been to the dealer for this issue yet.Who installed the shifter? Sounds like the boot might not be in right.

Sounds like this may be more closely related to the Steeda shifter, not the trans. I will confirm Mon/Tues once I remove the Tri-Ax from my car.
I've noticed my stock shifter does the same thing. When cold, shifts fine, heats up and gets notchy.
Mine did also. Once I switched to Redline MTL the other day, I haven't had that problem. And it's a hot sumbitch here in southern NM.I've noticed my stock shifter does the same thing. When cold, shifts fine, heats up and gets notchy.

Hi guys,I've noticed my stock shifter does the same thing. When cold, shifts fine, heats up and gets notchy.
My name is Deysha with Ford Customer Service. I also recommend you guys bring this up to your Ford dealer for diagnosis. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to private message me.

spent the last two days cuzzing mine also as it started being goofy shifting. After having two of these cars with issues Ford needs to replace the mt82 with something else. 100% stock car
