So why don't they over heat in the states ?

That article has absolutely nothing to do with the transmission overheating.

 

It can't help.

 

Yes, because the hot exhaust on the ecoboost car is directly related to the transmission overheating in the GT (V8) model....

 

The Ecoboost V6 and the GT V8 share the same auto trans but with merely different gearing. The aussie cops are using the auto.

If youve ever worked on a 2011+ mustang V8 of ANY variant (gt, 350, 350r etc), you would know that the set of cats are

 

^ Looks like it wont let me edit the post anymore. To continue from the end of the sentence..

The cats on ALL 2011+ V8 Mustangs are ~10" long, have a huge circumference, and surround the first foot of the transmission housing. The clearance is under 2". So yeah, its gonna get hot. Imagine trying to wrap a downpipe around an SST (which already overheats at stock power levels) - same concept.

 

But the ecoboost doesn't over heat the trans. It only has the potential to damage/melt the fuel tank, fuel lines, and EVAP lines. The GT exhaust doesn't even have the potential to melt those things, since their isn't a recall. So, apparently you still don't understand how the two are completely unrelated.

 

thread say " mustang is too hot?! " lol
yes it is. they even have a recall on it. Different issues or unrelated issues in AU vs USA? Yes, fits what the title of this thread describes? Absolutely.

case closed. lol

ps: besides the fact, i rather have an over heat issue with a trans, than a melting gas tank when i am driving etc...
lol

 

They are related by virtue of both being in the category of "heat related problems with the Mustang." They both also call into question Ford's engineering decisions.

 

Or an oversight? They're recalling the ecoboost cars before their was even a problem. So, I don't see a problem.


You want to talk about an engineering oversight? Mitsubishi used a reverse cut ring and pinion gear in the CT9A transfer case when it should have been standard cut. That's why the tcase is so easy to kill in comparison to the rear diff. Whoops..
