Hello!

[mescko]

Just got myself a 2011 SE.  I've always liked the first gen and 'facelift' Fusions, but never looked seriously at them, because I assumed they weren't going to be offered with manuals.  Out of my 10 cars/3 projects exactly one is a slushbox and I am working on a manual swap for it.  I only recently found out there were manuals, and I found this one (reconstructed) with 59k.  I'm loving it, and will have questions, as it is the newest car I've owned by 8 years (my oldest being 1968).

HI Scott and welcome to the Ford Fusion Forum!

 

Best of luck with your new Fusion! 🍻

Change the fluid in it yesterday.  Make sure you take good care of it.  Parts are scarce for the manual and the marts you can find are expensive.  I have a 2010 SE with the 6spd manual.  It's fun to drive but I find myself wishing it was an auto.  I simply got too god of a deal on it, I'm into it for about $5K CAD an it just turn 102K KM (just over 60K miles).  I had to replace the output speed sensor for the speedo and the part alone was $400CAD.  I still like the fact that there is no auto slushbox to self destruct and my clutch still works/feels perfect.  I'm 55 and I drive like it.  Great cars!
