But the most noticeable change for the Mustang will be its new face. Designers sloped the car's nose down lower over the grill, a change that makes the front end appear longer. Also, new headlights are smaller and more intricately shaped. Overall, the reworked front end gives the Mustang more of a sleek "sports car" image and less of a blocky "muscle car" look. On the back end, new taillight lenses have a more complex angled shape than the simple vertical blocks on the current model. Inside, the new Mustang's gauge cluster will be all digital. Essentially, it will be a wide computer screen displaying customizable gauges that vary with each driving mode; Normal, Sport and Track. The 10-speed transmission will, of course, be an automatic. (Drivers won't have to shift through all those gears as they merge onto the highway.) It's a transmission Ford ( ) developed in cooperation with General Motors ( ). With increasing fuel economy demands, we can expect to see it used in more cars in the future. Generally speaking, more gears means more efficiency. On the other hand, more efficient use of engine power car can also mean better performance. The new transmission will be flexible enough to serve both needs, said Carl Wildmann, Ford's chief program engineer for the Mustang. For instance, the transmission won't always shift gears sequentially but will be able to quickly go from, say 10th gear right down to 6th gear if the driver punches the gas pedal for a burst of speed. With that many gears to choose from it should always be able to find the perfect one for any given driving situation, Wildmann said. The base transmission will still be a six speed manual but that also has been improved, according to Ford. The new Mustang will be available with either a 5.0-liter V8 or a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The V8 engine will produce more horsepower than the same-sized engine in today's Mustang, Wildmann said. He isn't saying, yet, just how much more power........

The unending increase in transmission speed by manufacturers is a rat race IMO. Why would a car have more than six forward gears? Look for the first and last gear ratios of this 10 speed and compare them to a six speed. Negligible difference! It will just increase size, because more parts will be needed. The cost of purchase will be higher, and repair cost of course! Next thing now, 15 speed! The higher the speed, the lower the reliability. |

Kashif: The same reason the 2.3l ecoboost engine is generating 350hp. The race is on for horse power and fuel economy the 10speed as used in tractor trailers might get an extra 2mpg highway, hopefully it will have less wear in the clutches and last a lot longer than the old 6 speeds trans. The 10-speed is packaged in the same space as the old transmissions, and some actually started using the 8-speed 6 model years ago(300S) Because our people are still afraid of the 5-speed cars does not mean the world wil wait for us. 3 Likes |

sultaan: Toyota came out with the world's first 8speed AT. It has three planetary, and remains the only 8speed that compact. Others have four so, you cannot say they are as compact as their predecessors. Compare this to a 6speed with one planetary (though not simple planetary). They keep adding members until a revolutionary design becomes available, and they start all over again. The advent of Ravignueax planetary made it possible for a 10speed to fit into the same engine bay as 5speed but does it make it smaller or lighter? No. Wide gear range has nothing to do with a transmission's torque handling capacity. A 2speed can be designed to handle a torgue that will smoke a 10speed. It is in the holding members! Looking at numbers now, the 6speed's last gear (sixth) has a ratio of 0.586, while that of 8speed has 0.685! What this means is given the same final drive, the 6speed will deliver better highway mileage than the 8speed! Now, something that I look out for in all those 'improved' transmissions is the number of overdrive gears. The 5speed has one, even though live feed shows two. 6speed has two, and 8speed has two. 5speed has its direct ratio (1:1) at 3rd. 6speed does this at 4th, and 8 speed, at 6th. So why have five under drive ratios in a transmission? A valve that should move about three times in a 5speed from 1 to 5, will probably double its movement in 8speed. The result is accelerated VB wear. There is measurable improvement in 6speed from 5, but nothing to show in 8. Tell me the 8th gear has a ratio of 0.480 then I will clap for them! Those are more for marketing and competition. |

GAZZUZZ:Pls, gazzuzz. I was given a flooded vehicle,a 2014 Corolla.its was submerged to Dashboard level,can it be repaired here in nigeria. Am particularly concerned about the engine and electrical electronics parts. Thanks in anticipation |

id4sho: if it is dash, collect. If you will pay hard earned money, please look for one that is accidenteded instead of flooded. 2 Likes |
