Does Ford still use the MT82 transmission?
No — Ford no longer uses the MT82 in any current model. The MT82 is a Getrag-designed 6-speed manual that was used primarily on Ford Australia’s Falcon and Territory line from the late 2000s until around 2016, when Australian production ended and the company shifted away from that transmission family.
The MT82’s footprint is historical: it powered a subset of Australian-market cars, and Ford globally has since migrated to Tremec-based manuals and other transmissions for new models.
What is the MT82?
The MT82 is a six-speed manual transmission developed by Getrag for Ford’s Australian operations. It was part of the era when manual transmissions were offered on mainstream Australian sedans and sporty variants. Over time, Ford transitioned away from this family of transmissions as production and model strategy evolved.
Where was it used?
The MT82 was used primarily on Ford Australia’s Falcon and Territory platforms during the late 2000s and early 2010s, in manual variants of selected V6 and V8 models.
- Ford Falcon (BA/BF/FG/FGX) manual variants
- Ford Territory (and related variants) manual variants
These were the principal Australian-market models equipped with the MT82; outside Australia, usage was limited or non-existent.
Is MT82 still used today?
No. Ford has not used the MT82 in new models since the mid-2010s. With Ford Australia’s cessation of local production in 2016 and a global shift toward Tremec-based manuals (and other transmission options) for new vehicles, the MT82 has been retired from Ford’s lineup.
In markets where Ford still offers a manual transmission today, those transmissions are Tremec-based rather than MT82.
Current manual transmission options in Ford vehicles
Across Ford’s global lineup today, manuals (where offered) are overwhelmingly Tremec-based rather than MT82. The Mustang, among others, uses Tremec 6-speed units; other regional models follow suit with Tremec-produced manuals.
- Manual transmissions in current Ford models are Tremec-based
- MT82 is not listed as a current option in Ford’s official catalogs
If you own a late-2000s or early-2010s Ford Falcon or Territory with a manual transmission, it could be an MT82; modern Ford cars do not use MT82.
Summary
The MT82 was a Getrag-designed 6-speed manual used primarily in Ford Australia’s Falcon and Territory during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Ford has since retired MT82 in favor of Tremec-based manuals and other transmissions, and there are no current Ford models that use the MT82.
