Does anyone know how long the manual transmissions currently used with the 4.0 has been manufactured. A salesman today told me 30 years. Knowing this tranny design versus older ones, I really doubt it.
what... i dont really know any thing technical but werent manuals back in the day 3 and 4 speeds... not 5, even if it was similar i doubt they have not come up with any thing new in 30 years.. lol

About 25-30 years is right. I think this is the 5-speed used on the old (starting 1983?)Fox body Mustang GT. NOTE: Our 7.5 rear was also used by the Mustang GT till 1985.

While my 5 Speed has been noisy... She has developed this annoying habbit of "fading" out of 5th gear. It just seems to happen randomly after running for around 40 minutes at 80mph. She just slides on out of 5th. Zzzip.... neutral. Slide back in and keep on rolling for another 30-40 minutes. Dealer tell me that they can't find anything wrong with her. After they drive it around town for 15 minutes. Anybody have similar troubles? My 36month expires in 3 months.
