svt13 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 http://m.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1205_2013_ford_shelby_gt500_first_test/index.html This article gives a more in dept view on the launch control and mentions how the tremic grinds from quick/rushed shifting. I don't even get what they mean by rushed shifting. Are they saying shifting gears without the clutch in? That would cause grinding in any car.

Boss Hoss 540 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 No it is a well documented flaw in the transmission. Mine does it as does many others. If I was going to keep mine there is an aftermarket soluton. Ford is ignoring the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 No that is incorrect. Ford addressed the situation with this tremic the t-56 magnum. Hence why they completely changed it. Go watch the videos on SVTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

662HP631TQ Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 SVT, why do you start a thread complaining about something on the '13 GT500 Daily? Wait until you get your car then start to make these threads, it is getting a tad rediculous. The car is going to be awesome and you know it.

To be fair Jamal Hameedi did say in the SVT performance video that the grind was a non-issue in the 13. To see mention of it isn't a good thing. However, I don't have problems shifting my boss at high RPM so I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to just shift smoothly. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Why does a TR-6060 grind in a GT500 and not in a Corvette? So Ford expects their performance buyers to fork over 60 or 70 grand for a muscle car and have to granny shift it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyman Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Vettes have similar issues with the 6060. Had an '08 manual Vette. Pulled 2nd gear hard as hell more times than I can remember and never had a grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumplime Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You ladies bitching and whining about the Tremec and it's well documented shift problems need to find a better way to waste time. Ford has addressed the issues in all model years. Go do some dang research, although I highly suspect you're well aware of that. You know all of those TSB revisions. Yep that addresses the problem. For 2013 it's an entirely new transmission. Different helix angle on the input and output shaft, etc. stop the freaking nonsense posts until YOU have experienced an issue that needs fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Go to SVTP and check out the retofitting link in the 2012 section that Tob started. He posted a pic showing the transmission is the t-56. Jamaal just called it the next stage for tr 6060. On mustangsdaily they announced it too and how it gets rid of the 1-2 grind problem.

No - no T56 in the GT500 dude =) The T56 is the older trans used in the 03 Cobra. The TR-6060 was the replacement and was an evolution of the T56..

The problem is well known and well documented. 5 years of grinding gears in a transmission is totally unacceptable to anyone with a a double digit IQ. Lay off the Kool Aide fool.

bumplime Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I apologize, 2012 is not covered as Rob stated. Speedy man, I hate koolaid. keep that stuff away from me. I agree that the problems we have had with the trans is unacceptable. However; they did in fact address the issue with their TSB, it fixed my 08 with 54K on it. I've read of many others being fixed as well. For 2013 as I stated they have completely redesigned the trans. I'd link the video for you but the way you bash the car it isn't worth my time, fool.

You might want to take your own advice but READ Tob's information this time..... It is NOT a T-56, it is a TR-6060. And that's according the article/post/thread you cite.
