Hello Gentlemen,
My MK4 is a donor build (circa 2015 with a 98 Mustang GT donor)
4.6 2v with T45 five speed transmission.
As my car is in body shop jail, body off now after body work and almost ready for paint I brought the chassis home for cleaning, wire tidy up, etc.
I drove the car 5000 miles in gel coat before taking it to body shop and never having driven the Mustang as it was a crashed car I discovered that the transmission would pop out of 2nd gear while cruising or decelerating if I hit a small bump (or big bump).
Does the forward slanting shifter handle play much of a part in this?
It stays in gear fine under throttle.
If transmission is in need of parts now is the time.
Any insight into this situation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
