For all you 5.0 Boys with the Skip-Shift Trouble...

The NHTSA opened their investigation after receiving 32 complaints about the 2011 and 2012 Ford Mustang having shifting issues in models equipped with the new 6-speed manual transmission. Depending on what the government’s safety regulator finds during their studies, Ford may be faced with a recall to address these issues should a defect be discovered. In total, roughly 26,000 Mustangs from the 2011 and 2012 model year are affected by this investigation.
Since the incredible new 2011 Ford Mustang GT stormed onto the scene with a new 412 horsepower 5.0L V8 and a 6-speed Getrag transmission the mighty Mustang has received rave reviews from owners and writers alike. However, there have been regular grumblings on various internet communities like MustangForums.com about how these 2011 Mustang’s with the 6-speed manual were experiencing a variety of problems with the new transmission. These issues included excessive noise from the transmission and, worst of all, the inability to shift from or to certain gears at high rpm. As more and more of these upset owners came forward, surprisingly little was done but relief may be in sight as the NHTSA has stepped in – opening a preliminary investigation to see if there is a defect in the 2011 and 2012 Ford Mustang.

I think Logan was talking about it at the Dyno Day

You have to let her know who the boss is from day one. I can't speak for Logan, all I know is I don't have those issues.

Never had any problems such as those mentioned in the article. I just wasn't a fan of the skip shift feature, so I disabled it. It worked as it should though while it was enabled.
I gota agree with Chris, show her who runs the show from the start haha.

Mine is not a daily driver and I almost have the same mileage. One of the disadvantages of living in Oologah and working in Tulsa I guess. Two trips to OKC have played a roll in my mileage also.

Not really, I've got a 2002 F-150 as well but the 5.0 is just way more fun to drive so it's seen a lot of use since I got it. Still nice to have the truck for bad weather days, although it's not 4-wheel drive. I've been considering trading for something that's more capable in snow-type weather. However, nothing really does well on ice which is what we always seem to get around here.
You DD your gt500?
