After a few months of deciding what to get next, I ended up getting a new 14 GT 300A with the MT-82. Less than a month in to owning it, 1,2 synchros had already gone out, and evidentally the pressure plate backed off as well. Ford said there was no sign of abuse on the car and went ahead and warrantied the work.
Only issue was that I had come home from Fort Carson on a 4-day and did not have time to wait for the work. Instead of sticking with the Chinaman special MT-82, I traded it in for an automatic CPO 2013 convertible, fully loaded with the exception of the nav screen. Certainly much happier even though the car is heavier and slower. They gave me what i paid for the 14 and an excellent deal on the 13. One piece d/s going on sometime this month when we are out of the field. 3" X pipe, GT500's, tune for 6000ft and suspension mods coming soon. Carbon fiber mirror cover, rear license plate surround are on order. That with tint and the spring should make it look nice. I'm thinking about getting the new CDC GT500 style grilles as well.
