[QUOTE="ElscottHavoc, post: 14141211, member: 93145"] I don't expect it to drive like an auto, but I don't expect it to drive like a shitty manual driver either. We test drove a super smooth, super quiet car and that's what we should get. I'll let our lawyer decide what we have a chance against. If you have no issues, that's great - you're lucky compared to the many I've talked to at FocusFanatics. I've had our Focus to three dealerships, each one said they see a lot of transmission problems and replace a lot of clutches - they just cant do anything until Ford approves it. Only one dealership has actually performed repairs. If we've had our clutches replaced twice, plus an entirely new transmission having issues I'd take a bet there is a severe issue, especially since repairs work for 500-1000 miles. Its not just an issue of getting used to the feel and grinding, its an issue of having clutches burned up and brass shavings all over when they tear the tranny apart. That's a problem. If it wasn't a big problem, Ford would have our car resolved by now. Having a hit or miss vehicle is not a good quality product.
