Default Re: MC Mondeo harsh shift

They are harsher than a slush box auto.
Think of it as a manual with a robot gear changer

I found driving gently resulted in a more noticeable gear change (particularly 1-2 or into R) .
Better to get up it and into third quickly. I had the tdci, not the ecoboost.

Sold it at 194,000 kms with no trans issues, and I used the gearbox to slow down more than the brakes (120K on same brake pads).

Windscreen wiper blades are a bit dear, and servicing costs can get up there in dollars,

But Overall a Great car.

If you are concerned, go test drive another for comparison before your stat warranty runs out
