Symptoms: The gearbox slips, jerks, clashes or engages harshly; hard-to-select gears and premature wear.
Possible cause described: A US class action (Gregorio v. Ford) claims the gearbox is defective and that replacing parts does not fix it; synchronisers too weak for the V8’s torque are blamed. Ford attributes it to normal wear, and NHTSA closed a 2011 investigation without finding a safety risk.
