Description of the problem | The 6 speed dual clutch transmission is becoming very troublesome over past 3000 mile. It shudders when taking off and grinds when shifting gears. It sometimes gets lost between gears when shifting down and will lung when it finally catches gear. I do have an appointment with my local ford dealership in regards to this issue,but everything i have read concerning this problem does not sound to encouraging. Sounds like ford is in denial over this issue but the problem with this transmission has been going on for 5 years. Its time for ford to do the right thing by either coming up with a permanent fix or recall these cars. |
