Hi,
I have the same problem with the transmission in my 99 SVT. Same symptoms, same response from two different dealers. I have had the new synthetic "honey" colored fluid installed, as recommended by Ford, but with no real improvement.
What I'd like to know is, what tests can and should be performed to isolate a potential synchro problem? Is it okay to let this go until failure, or will that create even more problems?
I've had this problem since day 1 of ownership (I bought the car new w/ 35 miles on it), but have about 65K miles on it now. When the thing warms up, it works pretty well most of the time.
Thanks,
Matt Weaver
