Ford Ranger MT-82 6 Speed & a 100% failure rate?

[@tinashemanyika6478]

Shoutout from Zimbabwe.....the bearing problem is definitely a thing we see often

[@petermenzies1714]

Land Rover Defender up 2008 to 2016 with the FORD PUMA Engine was fitted with the MT82 Gearbox which is a lighter 4x4 suffering also from multiple bearing failures in the MT82 GEARBOX in addition to the unlubricated output shaft poor design fault . This is a very common fault and I definitely would not buy one.

PX2 2017. I did install an ultragauge in mine and checked trans temp. It was always running over 90, as per the thermostat and the engine temp went up on hot days. Trans would get to 110. So, fitted cooler kit and dummy thermo and it now alway runs under 80 and the engine temp never hits 90 now. Great investment in hot Oz. Change trans fluid every 40-50,000 never any metal. Was more concerned about EGR unit, which I just replaced with new modified Ford component. 140,000. Love it. Cleaning intake manifold last week gave it a boost. Love your vids. Cheers PP

[@BCBtrucks64]

you are talking about an automatic ?

[@mrpoopypants9586]

@@BCBtrucks64 Ahh, yeah, sorry mate, didn't make it clear it's an auto. Just got carried away, this issue riles me a bit. The manuals and autos get a bad wrap but I think the lack of oil changes and temps cause most probs. Never spoken to a mechanic who thought the lack of servicing Ford recommends is a good idea. Worn out oil isn't going to do any bearings any favours. Sorry for the distraction. I just don't get why Ford think it's okay not to change oils more regularly, in both the manual and auto. Seems to be asking for trouble. Cheers PP

[@colindonaghy8617]

@@mrpoopypants9586 the extended oil change intervals are to keep the capped price servicing costs down. Only has to last the warranty period.

Got a PX3 2021 model 3.2 with the six-speed automatic it's now got 185000 km Touchwood still going strong but I keep the maintenance up to it and the transmission fluid has been changed I'm about to change it again and the vehicle has done 180 thousand kilometres of mostly towing my off-road caravan and mostly Highway driving no issues once again Touchwood and fingers crossed

[@ellis3316]

Mine bit the bullet at 205,000kms (was the cluster bearing). A couple days after upgrading to a heavy-duty clutch.

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Regular servicing is keep. Keep the oils clean

[@John-gj9db]

I’ve got the same Ranger as yours with 330,000kms and never done a clutch, gearbox is mint, no noises and it’s done a lot of towing. Just do your oil changes and that goes a long way. “ That’s right isn’t it Brian”😂

[@GlenBushmann]

My 2017 Ranger had the slave cylinder fail at 96,000km. We changed out the clutch while the gearbox was out to replace the slave. It has a bearing noise now when in neutral ,and is difficult to select 1st gear. My Ranger has always been serviced at 10,000k's Slave cylinder should have been a warranty but it failed 3 days before Xmas and Ford were booked out until February, so my own mechanic did the work and I had my car back for Christmas.

[@graycat1961]

Why does the DEI have to womansplane first, then the guy who obviously does the work confirms she understood her script. 😂

[@djbatboy2000]

Hello, I’m a transmission mechanic, I own a 2016 Mazda BT50 Automatic (6R80) one of the last non DPF models. If you like to see it my mate made a fun KZbin video of my mates and I going to high Country kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGsgqSnq9iqmdU Anyway I’ve built quite a bit of MT-82s. What I commonly see is bearing failure mainly the front input bearing. The OEM bearings are sealed bearings meaning they are only lubricated by packed grease and are not packed enough, But the upgraded bearings from Japan has better grease and well packed. Sometimes the MT-82 can brake teeth mainly 6th gear caused by under heavy loads.(Very heavy canopy, Towing, eg). So try not to stress out 6th gear too much!!. I’ve haven’t seen a front plug get spat out yet. In conclusion I would say they are not a bad gearbox. 100% failure rate is overkill. The most common Km of bearing failure I’ve seen is like 185k some can do more or less depends on the history of the car and how you drive it!!. My recommendation is regular servicing!!! Every 60-70k- If the car is mostly a towing vehicle. 80-100k- If it’s a daily run around car. It never hurts to service it earlier too. If you do that the transmission will love you and will try it’s best to stay together. Thanks for reading 😊

[@AllanSaxby-m7g]

My 2016 BT 50 box failed at 137k. Broken 6th gear and other wear. Regularly serviced with quite a lot of towing.

[@natebetcha8059]

I'm at 240000 , had 33s it's whole life, lots of offroad towing etc, box never had an issue or the clutch!

[@paulfallon5330]

Px1 @ 200k original clutch always towing , a few months ago thought it was getting noisy but it was the tyres 😊😊😊😊 . The original owner did state that he did get the front bearing changed in the box at around 30k as he was a bit sus about it making a little bit of noise done under warranty.Not sure if Ford used OEM bearing in the replacement

[@lucysoutdoors]

I watched this a couple of days ago as well ,I did check on the internet and the gearbox they are showing you I believe it to be used from 07/15 on and is called a spline type.I have a 2013 bt-50 and the top of my gear box there is a pin type attachment for the gear stick .From what I can find it was fitted from 2012-2015 , so maybe this box has problems.

[@ddsgardening7437]

Poor Brian sleepless nights I'm with you love my six speed✌️

[@jakehill9174]

Is there a way to get rid of the RPM match when shifting UP in these things. Bloody annoying and no doubt puts stress on the drivetrain when you get out of sync.

[@shaynetwomey8260]

i had mine blow cluster bearing just as they said about 120k 5th gear. was told inferior bearings

[@matsinkal]

The bt50s at work are nearly all munted at just over 200k

[@paulboon1100]

The son of a very good friend of mine has gone through 3 boxes in a Ranger in a hundred thousand km. He's not impressed.

[@doneB830]

Needs to find a better mechanic.

[@ajphillipsracing]

😂

[@samvingtneuf]

PX 1 , 2012, 190 000 km , first gear is a bit hard to engage, this car had huge 21” wheels mounted for 10 years , this may had cause the wear , the other gears are fine

[@sammiecaisley]

Mt82 in a Transit van. Bearing failed at 200k

[@siyaindagulag.]

A bit off topic but still a Ford problem ... BTR Ion 4 spd 115° at the pan. $120 Shift module. Sorted.

[@C.JPhotography]

People don't maintain. I have the 5 speed t6. Works like a charm. 170,000km

[@livintherealworld]

😂😂😂😂

[@livintherealworld]

Yes they all fail. Gears and bearings are B grade chinesium. Luckily for most owners the engine will hand grenade first.

[@iansandersVortech500]

Misinformation is everywhere but good maintenance with 20,000 interval changes will see a box go 500,000 k and still going ok but not getting into mud slinging and each to their own circumstances i guess

[@Toxicgaming13]

mine blew at 315 so it lasted a fair bit

[@LegitimatelyAxeL]

I have my dpf and egr removed, is a small amount of blue smoke normal on start up? 3.2L everest 150000km. New injectors and glow plugs.

[@auyguy1]

My Px2 has just had the slave replaced as it was playing up cant say ive had anything bad happen to it and its at 140.000 km now

[@jamesdiemont5437]

Mines on 135 000km, actuator on the turbo went about 5k km ago

[@lastnyahuma6733]

Mine is at 305 000km gearbox issues only changed the slave bearing at 240k km.

[@EanestoB0rg9-s1h]

"Big competition for the Toyota Hiluxes" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No

[@brendan3430]

Given Ranger outsold Hilux last year and is well ahead in sales again this year, yes it is obviously is a winning competitor.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnjackson1830]

Drove 279 00 km on 4 different 4x4 Ranger s not one issue. Change oil every 80 000 km.

[@dirkmaurer]

Mein Ranger 2016 3.2 hat jetzt 60tkm und die Elektronik des Getriebes spinnt und es macht zischende Geräusche beim schalten.

[@mmcmamipurchase5116]

I have both Ford and Mazda no issues

[@Sethjxl]

Almost all vehicles have a %100 failure rate given enough time....😂 Listen to people who don't have a product to sell and have the favts to back it up.

[@TheCzsp01creep]

My PX1 gearbox failed at 215K

[@Oldncranky68]

Sounds like some ones trying to drum up a bit of work.

[@doneB830]

Why have DEI people explaining our work as mechanics.

[@ajphillipsracing]

First you said nearly 370k then later you say almost 200k. You have no idea!

[@Jp87089]

Yeah bro looks like another scam hating on the ranger. 2015 manual px ranger with 355,000 km on the clock and no issues with the gear box. I bought it brand new ,added bigger inter cooler, 3inch straight exhaust, stage 1 turbo 3 inch lift with a diff drop with all the mods and gear box never been opened. So just change the 3.7ltr oil on a regular basis. Keep the oil clean boys it’s built ford tough….keep up the good 👍 work buddy

[@livintherealworld]

😂 fool

[@xnsretroplan]

Ranger 2015 , 6 speed manual, 312 000 km, no leaks no problem
