Uh, no. There is no MT-82 in those cars (certainly not in a front drive, transverse engine Transit Connect).
32 complaints out of 26,000 is not exactly a major, widespread problem. How many of the first 26,000 TR6060s failed in the Camaro?
It's been my experience that the gate for 2nd is easy to overshoot. The MT-82 shifts very smoothly, and requires very little effort to move it in and out of gears. If you pull it too hard toward the left while shifting into 2nd, the linkage will get a little hung up. If you only put a small amount of leftward force while pulling down, it slides in like butter every time. In short, I think a lot of these people with "problems" are just missing shifts, just as it turned out that a lot of Toyota's "stuck" throttles came from drivers sticking the gas pedal to the floor thinking it was the brake.
