MT82-D4 manual transmission in 2024 Mustang - should I be worried?

[Dave2013M3]

When I had my 2020 Mustang GT I had no issues banging gears at redline.

The previous Ecoboost did not get the same transmission as the Coyote, different ratios

The ratios for the V8 manual on that chart are wrong for the MT82D4. Fourth gear is 1:1, that chart is not correct.

It's some random Ford document that was on the internet for the 2018 model year. The point is they aren't the same ratios between the GT and the Eco.

This one is probably more accurate.

100%

Do not give us an engine that has to spin to 7,000 RPM and beyond before it finally wakes up, and then saddle us with a transmission that can only handle 4,500 RPM shifts. That's the dumbest piece of engineering I've ever seen in my life. Like I have said before, the MT82 zaps every bit of the fun out of this car. I will never buy a MT82 ever again. Ever.

If you want to drive slow, never "race" or "mod" the car, then why buy a Mustang GT?

If you do want to race, mod, or enjoy the speed of the car, then why buy a MT82 that will prevent all of those things?

The A10 should be the only option. It's simple.

Try driving one with a Tremec you can power shift it at 7000 but you have to get a Dark Horse I did.

This one is correct. I have said this once and I will say it again. The MT82D4 with a set of 4.09 gears is about perfect.
