The transmission found in the third-gen Focus and sixth-gen Fiesta.

Thanks for that. I was wondering if it was for the F150.

I believe it. However, the Fiesta ST model, which I own, was offered with only the Getrag manual 6 spieed, and I love it. (Most other driving-oriented parts were soecial-sourced or tuned as well). Only problem with the car I’ve encountered is the front brake pad wear, since the anti-torque-steer differential braking is constantly trying to stop the front wheels from spinning.

Ford could teach deny and deflect theory to the CIA.

Went with my granddaughter for her test drive of a Ford Focus that would be her first car...Tried the highway...

Made it back to the dealer but just barely...Trans didn’t want to shift...Salesman promised “we will fix it”...Walked away; no sale...

Ultimately, I believe that Ford will be buying the cars back or be installing transmissions of a wet clutch design. They really screwed up hard here and there is plenty of paper trail.
