Ford thought the German Getrag folks had a great idea but it turned out bad. I passed on a VW with automatic after learning that the 30K service included $500 for transmission service. The Focus 5 speed manual is a much better car but, unfortunately, Ford chose to build only a few of them. My Fords have obviously had a better record than most who have posted and the only problem I have had with my three Fords is a failed horn relay.

My son had the VW diesel with the DSG (dual clutch) trans.

Having it serviced at the dealer put ordinary transmission service at almost the cost of the fuel.

Dot a bad job to change the fluid, but at the time Rostech ($200) was the least expensive option for resetting the OBD.
