Fezzertit Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Am looking to put a focus tdci 6 speed gearbox into a fiesta but has this been done before or is it even possible. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Its a lot of hassle for little real advantage - i have a 5-speed in my Mondeo and prefer it to the 6-speed as i get faster top gear acceleration - 6th is just an overdrive and you often never use it apart from on M-ways and (depending on car/ engine) you often have to change down for hills even then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 couldnt agree more, I have the 6 speed, and when I am cruising along over 40 on the A roads its fine, but as soon as I encounter a rather large and windy hill near work, I have to drop to 5th at least, or if some pleb in front thinks that the speed limit is in kMph and not MPH, then I have to drop to fourth. I love the 6 speed, and it helps efficiency a lot, and I do spend about 2/3 of my driving day in 6th gear, and it helps but there are times when I still need to drop a cog or two to save myself an embarassing moment on the roads!
