The Focus has a different (and much stronger) ATX than the CDW-27 platform has.
Um no read the Focus forums...the Focus has a weaker ATX. 
Reading forums has nothing to do with it.
The Focus most definitely has a stronger ATX. The TC is better built and the input shaft is rated at 240-260lb/ft vs the CD4E's 190-200lb/ft.
I remember how shocked I was at the numbers when it first came up many moons ago. Seems Ford learned a little after building the weak POS CD4E.
They still need to work on efficiency to even get remotely close to brands such as GM's line of slushboxes. (something the General actually does well)
Well I got that info from some of the more informed members.  TC was the problem.
GM slushboxes efficient?  Ask some Grand Prix owners how good the slushbox is.
