Summary
Some 2018-2020 Mustang
vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine and an MT-82 manual transmission may experience a loss of movement and/or difficulty shifting. This may be due to excessive wheel hop which is caused by aggressive acceleration at low speeds while using launch control. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the failed components and replace the peak torque limiter.
Model:
2018-2020 Mustang
Engine: 5.0L
Transmission/Transaxle: 6 MT82

Quantity refers to the amount of the service part number required to repair the vehicle.
Unit of Issue refers to the number of individual pieces included in a service part number package.
Piece Quantity refers to the total number of individual pieces required to repair the vehicle.
If Needed indicates the part is not mandatory.
Service Procedure
- Remove the transmission assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 308-03A.
- Inspect the clutch and dual mass flywheel. Do the clutch and/or dual mass flywheel have failures like the ones shown in Figures 1-3?
Figure 1 – A torn strap of the intermediate pressure plate on clutch
Figure 2 – Dual mass flywheel rivet failure
Figure 3 – Stuck dual mass flywheel due to spring breakage. Bolt access requires cutting through the flywheel.
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 308-03A and continue with normal diagnostics.
- Replace the clutch, dual mass flywheel and any other damaged components. Refer to WSM, Section 308-01 and 303-01.
- Replace the peak torque limiter.
(1). Disengage the 2 retention clips (1 clip must have been disengaged during transmission removal).
(2). Install the new peak torque limiter, making sure it is fully seated into the transmission and line (during transmission installation) and that both clips are fully engaged. (Figure 4)
- Reinstall the transmission assembly. Refer to WSM, Section 308-03A.
