Many sources on the internet are claiming that the 2018 Mustang will get a new 10 speed automatic transmission, as reported by the NYM news reporter. This new transmission was a joint venture with GM. It will be seen in the 2017 F150 first. The 6 speed will no longer be an option. It is should improve performance and help with gas mileage. The price of the transmission is currently unknown. From the information out there , i believe that it will be an option on the refreshed 2018 Mustang. We wait for next seasons auto shows in LA & Detroit to see the 2018 and confirm the speculation.:headbang::stang5:

GM put it in the top of the line Camaro so not sure if it will end up in anything less than a special edition V8 Stang. Maybe the rumored Mach I?

The 2017 model 2018 year is suppose to have the 10 Speed Automatic Tranny, but don't you all prefer Manual trannies, more control and less maintenance than an automatic. Rear axle ratio will be higher with an automatic. Ford might not do it, it is hard tell this early in the game. The Mach1 should be something between the Mustang GT and the Shelby GT350. What are your views on this.

That 10 speed is almost certainly on 2018 models. The argument between manual vs automatic has been going on for decades now. The computer will shift faster. None the less its preference as the bottom line. The Mach 1 will have more performance , possible quad tip exhaust as well. Where it fits in the line up is still uncertain............:stang5:

Copied from Mustang6G:headbang:..............The Ford Parts website has often provided clues on future vehicles, models and parts speculation and as regular Mustang6G readers will remember back in August 2014 our sleuths dug up various traces of the then yet-released GT350 wheels and other parts.

Now, fresh indications have emerged that the upcoming 10R80 ten-speed automatic transmission is being readied for the Ford Mustang. This comes only a few months after the first concrete sign of the 10R80 was leaked in the Microcat system.


The latest clue relates to Part Number 2454 for a Parking Brake Pedal Pad, which is noted for the 6 speed automatic transmission (6R80) found in the current model S550 and the “North American Markets 10 Speed Auto Transmission (10R80).”

While many are excited to see the plans solidify for the 2018 Mustang to receive a new 10-speed automatic transmission, the latest proof of such raises the question of whether the 10R80 will only be available for S550 Mustangs sold in North America.

With any luck, we will find out the answer before the 2018 Mustang public debut early next year.:stang5:

:headbang:There is speculation now floating around, that this new 10 speed transmission might make its way into Shelby GT350. Not just the 2018 Mustang.The AUTO SLEUTH is reporting that "this new automatic is capable of producing ultra quick shift changes, quicker apparently than Porsche's paddle shift PDK unit.That makes it ideal for track use as well for helping reduce fuel consumption in everyday use" . Put in Mustang Gen 6 at the 4th year of production. Then seen in Gen 7 S650 from its start of production in 20/21,probable :stang5:

Talked to a Ford rep yesterday at the Buffalo Autoshow. She told me they have not decided which engine will get the 10 speed auto. I see the new Camaro ZL1 is getting a 10 speed auto transmission. Took some pix's of the new Mustang, enjoy.

Both Ecoboost & 5.0 get the 10 speed transmission as an option . Convertible & Fast Back can get the 10 speed automatic. This has has been confirmed by the Ford engineers at the Detroit & Chicago Auto shows. The Camaro now has some solid competition with both the new 10 automatic transmission & updated 6 speed manual transmission added to the Magneride & Performance Package options. The 6 speed automatic is now gone, as well as V6 engine. Nice pics of the 2018 lightning Blue ecoboost Mustang. There are pre production 5.0 Mustangs , with the new transmission touring the auto shows. Sweet pics thanks for sharing. :headbang:

No confirmation of Mach 1 in 2018 , looks like its not going to be built in the 2018 MY. Quad tip is on GT only for 2018. Ecoboost gets dual tip. Ecoboost also gets Line Lock on the car for the 2018 MY. 355 gears are also available as an option on GT. 355 & 373 gears can now both be used with the new automatic transmission in the United States. This 5.0 has a 10 speed automatic. Motorauthority.com...."Under the hood there are fewer options than last year. The V-6 Mustang has been retired. Base Mustangs are now powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4. Don't worry, the Mustang GT still has a 5.0-liter V-8, for now, and it's been reworked with direct injection and a higher redline. Power obviously still goes to the rear wheels through either a redesigned 6-speed manual or a new 10-speed automatic that was co-developed with General Motors.Of course, everything we've just talked about will be available in both coupe or convertible form.Ford isn't talking pricing, fuel economy, or even power figures, but we'll be sure to bring you all those details as we get closer to the 2018 Mustang's launch later this fall.
