It's nice to see that Ford and its dealerships are still jerking people around with this problem
I finally got rid of the SVT and bought a Honda (I loved the car...*hated* Ford and its dealerships). Anyway, after MUCH hassle, Ford replaced the clutch on my SVT and the car was fixed. This has been a common problem and Ford is either completely incompetent or purposely screwing its customers. I'm inclined to believe the latter. The best way I found to show them the problem is to have them shift with the car off and with the car on. Perhaps Mr. Haines can comment here, but I don't believe there should be a whole lot of difference.

I have a problem just like that but in first and reverse, I barely goes into first gear after I have stopped but will go into first when it is cold. But it hardly ever goes into reverse, only when the engine is turned off it will go into reverse. Took it into the dealership and they tried it in reverse when the car was off. I am just going to have to bring it into the dealership again.
Thanks guys for bringing up the topic, never thought about it when the car was running.
