It is, so Ford tells me. Their are lockout devices in place for both first and reverse, to prevent from accidently putting it in that gear while tranny is engaged. I get that, as far as the clunking, they tell me that it is because drivetrain, is not top of the line for v6, that we will experience some kick back due to the design. I'm told that is normal and is not hurting anything. I do find that if i back off in first to second, and be fluid with my shift that I don't have that issue. I've had no major problems with clutch or tranny so I am taking them at their word. Hope this helps.
can anyone help?
2. Check to see if your brake lights work.
3. If the fuses are ok but you have no brake lights, the problem is most likely due to a faulty brake light switch up under the dash or a bad electrical connection to that switch. A faulty switch will lock out your ability to get out of Park.
A temporary work around is to turn the ignition key to position one, then put the vehicle in Neutral and start.
i have a problem when driving, and the gear 2 shifts to gear 3, it only shifts at 2200 rpm, which makes the car slow when going up. why is the gear 2 shifting so quickly, it should be on 3000 or 3 500 rpm...??
Your last sentence should read DO NOT BY A MUSTANG WITH AUTO TRANS.
It's attached to the top of the brake pedal arm."
The OD clutches have wear/are wearing out.
To avoid the inevitable expense of the repair he pointed out that all you have to do in the interim is push the OD button & turn the Overdrive off.
Problem solved, with a loss of feul economy.
I've been driving for 5yrs this way with no slipage.
NEITHER THE FROD DEALER NOR FORD CAN CORRECT. NOW, FORD SAYS TO WAIT 8-10 SECONDS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER CRANKING.
ANYONE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM????
Now the bad news.
Let car sit in garage a couple days. Start engine shift into reverse, nothing, a few seconds later car backs out of garage. similar ro problems of #123.
Like # 117 car shifts when it feels like it, seldom the same.Has the worst case of driveline slack/backlash I have ever seen on any car, especially one with a $33,000 window sticker.
Local Ford dealer (not the one that unloaded the car on us) had car for 8 days and couldn't find a problem.
As a warning to future buyers, this car has no sparetire! Just a made in CHINA plug into lighter air pumpwith some gummy substance in it. Have anything but a puncture and you are screwed, roadside service will only put on spare, where you are needing a rollback. I tried to buy a spare from Ford but they ignored me.
I would sign off by saying I doubt very much if a bunch of overpaid engrs. at givr a damn what an old man in In. has to say about anything.
Thank You and happy motoring!!
Unfortunately, the required parts are not available anywhere in the Ford system as of mid-Dec 2011. The dealership is "referred to vendor" but nobody can tell us when the parts will be available.
Yes, I too am sick of the Ford warranty process! I never ever thought I would say this, but I wish I had bought a Hyundai! That's truly sad!
Beer or coke will mess them up. Generally, the shop will have to quickly replace the whole shift selecting mechanism and not have to mess with the transmission insides. It's easier to replace the whole assembly rather than trying to find the corrupted component. I know this much from experience.
That's the reward we get for having beverage holders located right next to that key piece of equipment.
I noticed that if I deactivate the Traction control it seems to shift better
for awhile.
Also, if I drive aggressively the shifting seems tighter.
I'm now getting slipping when I punch it a little from a dead stop.(not good)
You mentioned a Chip to correct your problems. What chip were you
referring to? Is it a tuning chip?
Let me me know what it is, I might want to try it if Ford can't fix this problem.
Thanks!

I have been quoted $2,700.00 for a top notch shop to rebuild my trans but I am leery as to if the actual issue is the transmission or is it an electronic issue? I would hate to pay that money and it continues. I am very disappointed in Ford and I do vow I will NEVER buy another Ford product again.
