You lucky b*stard. There is no way I could've gotten an SA to come pick up my car. It took a month and a half and constant baby-sitting to get my tranny replaced under warranty last August.

I had the same cold shifting problem, not being able to get into any gear. I must've gotten one of the good replacement trannies cause my problem was solved. Not sure if that was totally due to the tranny though, cause they replaced the throwout bearing and clutch plate assembly. There was some notchiness, which I was warned about, but that is gone now and was most likely due to the fact that everything was new.

At least we're lucky they're still using the mtx75 in the focus or we might be s.o.l. on new or replacement parts.

Good luck on yours, I know what you're going through.

By the way NO ONE should go for that "its your clutch" bullshiot. Call the transmission hotline if the dealer tries to jerk you around.
