But the materials might be coming from elsewhere.* I expect that these are DIN (Germany) spec materials and I don't think Gertag is going to put up with the old 'same thing' from Chinese suppliers.
*I've personally experienced this.As I read through the web forums it seems that the transmission's internals are victims rather than causes with a couple exceptions. Ford apparently revised the sycros and one racing parts supplier damaged a shift fork and then proceeded to more strongly weld the shift forks and change the pads to bronze. They are of course using the car as a testbed for their products.
Ford has also revised the clutch pedal assembly, the clutch, and the pressure plate bolts. As I boil out the more reasonable sounding posts the issue seems to be converging on things that make for poor shifts that damage the transmission rather than transmission damage that causes poor shifting. Many owners are having success with different lubicants and aftermarket shifter components.
the fact that some are reporting to have had 2-3-and even 4 transmissions either means there are either trolls spreading falsehoods or that driving style is a major factor or that the problem is outside the transmission. Not saying they are abusing the car, just that how they drive it plays a role** and/or the problem is outside the transmission and not being fixed and just toasts one trans after another. Statistically it is highly unlikely for them to get that many bad transmissions from the sort of manufacturing facility this one comes from.
**Sometimes customers use a product in some way that isn't foreseen. It often isn't wrong, just different and results in a failure that just wasn't seen in testing because nobody thought to use it that way. It's still got to be fixed of course.
