justindewoody Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am new to this forum and the Gt 500 - I have read about the shifting problems and I wanted to know if anyone has changed the trans fluid ? I changed the fluid on my 2010 GT500 to Royal Purple. It seemed to help "some." Not completely, but definitely some. My 2011 has the issue also...but I have not changed the fluid yet...and I don't know that I will, cuz I don't really think it makes much of a difference. The whole issue REALLY pisses me off.

tturner770 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just so you know, not everyone has that problem. I have about 5000 miles on my 2010 and my transmission works just fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra2564 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just so you know, not everyone has that problem. I have about 5000 miles on my 2010 and my transmission works just fine so far. I bought a 2010 GT500 last Feb. I have 4000 miles on it and zero problem. Sometimes I wonder if there are people trolling the website to post bad stuff and have jumped on this?We will never know. I will probably now read a diluge of people posting counters to mine. It seems typically that if you have no problem ,you say nothing. Maybe say, mmmm, gosh maybe Im just lucky? I used to race a 289 K code back in the day, GT40 cam, blah, blah, blah, maybe I should bitch about drive line twist and hard shifting in that one? Just saying...........

JWG223 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I followed the thread here where Ford acknowledged the problem, refused to fix it, and ended up buying the car back after legal action was taken. The problem may not manifest in all GT500's, but it isn't right to blow it off completely, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
