The internet makes any problem seem more common than it actually is because the one's having the problem are very vocal. If everyone that never had a problem with a TKO posted it on every forum, the internet would be flooded with happy TKO owners.
Regardless, the problem with the original poster is the clutch.
You're right. I was thinking ahead as I was reading, before even finishing his post. Clutch is it for sure.

I did a POS Spec clutch in an 03 Mustang a while back, and the car did the same thing. Had to shut it off to get it into gear. Wouldn't go in reverse or 1st running. The clutch was actually warped (brand new) and never fully released.
