Mustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny

Are you looking to upgrade, replace, or restore your Mustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny system? Here’s your chance to own a genuine OEM Getrag FMustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny, removed from a Ford Mustang GT 5.0L. This is the perfect choice for enthusiasts, builders, and repair professionals seeking reliable, high-performance gear control with OEM fit and finish.

Transmission Overview:

The Mustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny was originally installed in the 2011+ Ford Mustang GT models with the 5.0L V8 Coyote engine. Manufactured by Getrag, this transmission delivers a balance between aggressive performance and daily drivability. It’s designed to handle the torque of the Coyote engine while offering smooth, quick shifts through a close-ratio gearset.

This particular unit is a genuine take-out from a 2018 Mustang GT with approximately 20,000 miles. It has been tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in excellent mechanical condition, with no abnormal noise, grinding, or gear slip. It was removed during a high-performance build in favor of a TREMEC swap, making it ideal for someone looking to replace a worn or damaged unit without paying the high price of new OEM parts.

Known Issues with Mustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny – and Why This One Is a Solid Pick

Let’s address the elephant in the room: the MT82 has received mixed reviews in the enthusiast community, primarily due to shift feel and clutch engagement inconsistencies. However, it’s worth noting that:

• Later MT82-D4 versions (2018+) feature improved synchronizers and upgraded components

• Proper fluid maintenance and bushing upgrades eliminate many of the early complaints

• This unit has no signs of the common second gear lockout or high-RPM shift issues often reported in earlier models

• Many issues stemmed from poor shifter bushings or clutch hydraulics, not the transmission internals themselves

This specific transmission was paired with a properly working clutch and hydraulic system before removal. If you’re replacing your current Mustang 5.0 MT82 6Spd Manual Tranny due to mechanical failure or degraded shift quality, this is a solid replacement option.
