2025 Manual Transmission Thread

[redone17]

It definitely is a much nicer engine/trans combination. Can't wait to get my Steeda Clutch Spring back in action.

FYI… the ford video guy stated
December close out for 2025…

0% scheduling for bronco manuals with Sasquatch for Base, Big Bend and Heritage…


Raised questions still what’s so different between manual/auto with Sasquatch?
Other than $2,000.00

If anyone knows, post it to this thread above.

I just took delivery of my REB Heritage with a 7-speed on Saturday. Such a great car and a super smooth manual. It's the first car in a long time that my wife and kids are all excited about.

FYI, if anyone is interested in another REB Heritage with a manual, another dealership in Denver just took delivery of a stock order. I was watching several vehicles be built, but ended up taking delivery from another dealership.

I have no affiliation with the dealer. Ask for Daniel.

Oh baby! Nice. Sure wish the Heritage was still available in the 2-door.

Picking mine up tomorrow. Can’t complain at all about the discounts and incentives, nor the timeline from order to delivery. Pretty stoked, and already have a couple ‘wheel trips planned with fiends

I have a 2025 base. Now with 3500 mile on the manual transmission, I changed out the trans fluid to BG syncroshift 2 today. It shifts really nice now. Kind of bolt action and quick. Before it was smooth, but could not rush gear changes 1-2 and 2-3. It would kind of mild crunch unless you slowed the shift. Now it is like a bolt action quick and very smooth. I think the Chinese oil factory fill is some kind of dual clutch fluid. Very impressed with whatever BG puts into their recipe on their trans oil. Snick, snick, snick is all I can describe how it works now. The little crunch is gone. Works better and better as I put some more miles on this fluid and heat cycle it some. I kind of hope Ford did all the research on lubricants, but you never know. Maybe someone with high mileage on a non oil changed unit can speak up on life at the higher mileage on original fluid. BG is about $30 per quart and it takes 2.5 quarts to do the 7 speed.

Nice. I put that in my 2021. The 2025 is so much better from factory. I can imagine that fluid change makes it even better. It’s on my list. Planning on doing all gear fluids at 10k.

Thanks VERY much for passing this on!

Mine does the same thing when shifting. I just had my second transmission replacement to lol.

1st one was replaced at 3500 Ish miles and was a C and second one was replaced at 11500 Ish miles and was a B; could have/ should have been replaced earlier, I just didn't feel like dealing with it and the original dealer I had work on it refused to touch it again because they didn't know what else to do. My new one has less than 200 miles on it and sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it crunches 2,3,4 and 5 gears. So we will see where this ends up going but considering its spent almost 4 weeks at dealers already and I haven't even had it a full year yet its looking like I might have to lemon law it which is going to such because I really like this car and they don't have cactus grey anymore lol

Very nice….
I haven’t seen those rims all dark What option did you choose?

17* GRAY-PNTD ALUM WLS
Or a job 2 run change
Either way a great look

I’m far from an expert, but I think it’s the same non-SAS Bandlands wheel as previous model years…. just painted a darker grey now

 

[UncleBrad]

Love it. Those wheels kinda look like Big Bend wheels (which is not a bad thing). I like them - it fits the whole package.

 

[Q1svt]

same non-SAS Bandlands wheel

Yes, but all gray … no machining

Did you know that, is that what you ordered? I don’t see it on Build & Price

No I didn’t know about it, had assumed it would be the previous partially machined finish wheel. For this body color, it’s a very pleasant surprise to my eye… which is subjective I know
