Good News !!! There is a kit for the fix! My service manager is getting the kit soon. He said ford has tested it and it fixes the problem. Keep an eye out on the tsb soon to be released. Cross your fingers everyone! Good luck in getting the kits! Im sure they are going to be in high demand.

you might have a problem. that might be up to the dealer. They dont have to tell ford you have a shifter.

Are we talking about the cold shift problems?

Also mind if you give us some details as oppose to just teasing us.

The 1 2 gear grind is what Im refering to. My service manager is ordering a kit that fixes the problem. I talked to him today. Check with your dealer. I think ford is going to issue a service bulleten soon.

Well, I'm lucky enough that the problem isn't a major concern to me. It does rattle (like a mini-grind) a bit into second when it's very cold.

But if Ford's coming up with a fix.........oh my God I hate that problem, geez Ford, fix it for me.

I'd like to know what they are doing to fix it. I have my steeda tri-ax install on hold. I am scared to install it so that they can say the shifter caused this issue that has been there since I got the car.

This is great news.If this really starts to happen big, we should start a thread with the locations of the dealerships who will and will not do the fix with a Shifter,

I have more details for the fix. all of these part numbers start with 3r3z there are a total of 4 parts. The numbers may be flip-flopped with the part but I was assured that the numbers are right here they are:

1st and 2nd syncro = 3r3z 7124BA

2nd gear = 3r3z 7102AA

Blocker = 3r3z 7107AA

Shift Fork = 3r3z 7230AB

My service manager said it is a fix for the 1/2 gear grind. He also said ford will be releasing a service bulletin very soon. Good luck everyone. Cross your fingers.

I still havent noticed anywhere in here where it states what is actually "fixed" to "fix" this problem?
Is this a secretive kit that only Ford Techs know about, or is this something we could do or have a speed shop do on our own?
