I was reading the article in performance ford magazine.

It turns out there very very sturdy cars. All that is likely to go is the gearbox...according to the magazine, which sounds good to me.

Altho to be fair your car's problems have been pretty exceptional. I've had no problems really and have found the buuld quality to be really good.

It sounds about right really because I know some people have said their gearboxes are a bit dodgy, bt they're replacing them anyway (with uprated ones). Performance Ford's own ST had its gearbox replaced too so its probably taken from personal experience.

Yes, good job a gearbox is cheap to fix if it breaks. (added sarcasm there)

That's why I won't be keeping mine past 3yrs, just in case.

Course any car well cared for and well driven shouldnt need a new gearbox...
