SarahJ80 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi... I've got a 63 player Fiesta Titanium automatic... got it in 2017 and only had about 35,000. Last year at 55,000 I had to have a new gearbox put in (I read there was a common theme about these gearboxes not being great) anyway all done move to now and my warranty was 12months or 12,000 whichever came first I'm literally at 67,000 miles and the car is over revving as I increase my speed.. it doesn't feel like last time as I could actually feel the slip from 1 to 2.. could there be another issue? I've no engine management lights come on or anything but I'm just cant believe a gearbox only last 12,000 and at £1,200 a pop I'm hoping there maybe another issue.

Guy Heaton Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'd usually say change the auto transmission fluid but you hope they'd have done that when they put a new box in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its the dual clutch one. I would google it and see if anyone else is having similar issues. I think there was a big thing about this in the USA with early failures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
