I'm looking to buy a Focus off my mother which is in mint condition and has
been seriously well maintained. However, a couple of years back it developed
an annoying problem with the gearchange. Third gear became a bit awkward to
get in. The mechanic said he did something with the linkages and it improved
things.
However, recently it has reared its ugly head again and third is sometimes
fiddly to get in. There's also a bit of a creak on the gear lever. The
mechanic is going to look at it next week and he says it may end up costing
hundreds to fix.
I was wondering if there was a known issue with Focus gearboxes or linkages?
It only has around 60K miles on it. My Focus TDDI has 81K miles on it and
the gearchange is absolutely spot on.
