thanks, i made the mistake ,before i bought the focus of not asking, after 2k miles i find out about this dry clutch shifting problem. i do believe i should of been told before i bought;; anyway i have goined a law suit against ford,and have won,, ford is gonna buy back my focus, that's why i am going to the fusion. i maybe would change brands, but i have a ford store just 2 miles from my home,,, n.Steve
