Interested.. i thought the DSG problem only surfaces on TDCI Focus. seems like FoFi is plagued with the same sickness. No chance on updating the TCU firmware or plugging in a ETC to dampen the effects?

Only now you know? Slowpoke by how many years?

Its a dry clutch, it will always exhibit such behaviour at low speeds. Its like a noob L license holder operating your clutch pedal. No TCU update will fix it.

You either live with it and learn to control it with the throttle, or complain and sellcarbuyvios. Automatic dry clutches will never be as smooth as TCs at low speeds.

Guilty as charged.

Only knew it was hard to be accustomed to but did not realized it is referred and labelled as problematic

Well on the plus side at least it's reliable compared to vw

Don't need to pretend as if you don't know anything about this. Seeing the many threads that you constantly post here, the latest news and technological breakthroughs to the latest market news and recalls, you surely should have investigated and read about it. I think it is a matter of creating a new thread just for the sake of for some cheap talk or thrills, rather than the false intention whether you think that the opinion from one person about the problematic transmission of the Ford is for real.

You can dispute as much as you can or say "guilty as charged", though seeing the pattern of your threads here it is not difficult to imagine that it is not a simple case of "guilty as charged".

I thought this was brought up a while ago? New thread to flame?

Interestingly was scouting through some Ford Focus MK3 known transmission issue and seems this guy explains what Dares has mentioned:-

Additionally, I know AutoConneXion is aware of the Clutch and Software Update (I believe you can claim warranty for the clutch). I'm not sure however they have addressed the input shaft seals on the transmission as explained in the Video from FocusFanatics.com.

Any Ford owners can comment if you have sent your cars back to SC and get it changed?
To get that replaced, you have to dismount the whole transmission and would take a long time to replace the seals.

My 2 cents, they will deny such allegations.

Chillax. I am posting this thread because I believe it is the first time I read it being described as problematic from a local motor journal. I am truly taken aback by such description.

I not that well informed when it comes to Ford really and I will truly be pretentious to say I am.

The only thing I am guilty of is my curiosity and a desire to seek the truth. And I am here to listen to arguments from both sides

Interesting that you can be taken aback by a local motor journal from some unpopular blog when there are many other "reliable sources" that you so often manage to dig out like a champ. Anyway, no problem. You look like you "might" be really uninformed when it comes to Ford rather than the Frenchies.

Are you sure you have not posted a similar thread like this before on Ford's transmission? Nothing in history?

I wouldn't say Motorme is unpopular. Many knew them individually -- CBT Online, S4M, Car of the Year, NST-Autoshow, All Bikes Concours and BH Auto. Asking Toh is one of the permanent feature/coumn of the site.

And nope I have not posted a similar thread in the past on Ford 's transmission.
