Default Re: 2011 Ford Focus Sport, Transmission Shudders :(

Sorry to read of everyone's problems with these transmissions.

Mrs LeadFoot's Focus Titanium has developed a light grinding sound (we can hear it on gentle acceleration from a full stop) whether it isn't there on firm/hard acceleration (or we just can't hear it) I don't know.

The transmission can be quite jerky and indecisive when reversing, there's some slight slippage on initial acceleration, but once you're going it's fine - nice smooth, decisive shifts and no issues with power delivery.

We'll be taking the car in for its 15,000km service and check of the transmission in the next couple of weeks. I'll post back once we hear what's going on.
