by the way, Terry passes along this info:

...The Focus Getrag 6 speed is NOT the trans of choice
for a 2.5/3.0 V6.The Mondy ST220 trans is the one,as
used in the Noble,currently being modded for a Noble
owner at HMS Inc...The Focus trans does not have the
torque capacity for any V6,it's lower than a stoc
MTX75 5 speed!
