I'm considering buying a Moandeo ST220 Estate. The earlier model has a
5-speed manual cogbox, whilst the 2003 'facelift' model has a 6-speed manual.I know the 5-speed cogboxes are pretty good, but what about the 6-speed? Did Ford get them right first time, or is it not worth the extra money to go for a 6-speeder?
Any comments, good or bad, appreciated.
TIA
In news:dvpchi$spt$ snipped-for-privacy@north.jnrs.ja.net, mlv wrote something quite bizarre, possibly in an effort to confuddle the world. It went like so;
It's worth the money. The Ford 6 speed box is quite nice, as gearboxes go.
I've got a 6 speed on a TDCI.
Box isn't bad.
2nd can be a bit stiff when it's cold.My *personal* bugbear is that reverse is next to first, and there's no "ring" that you've got to pull up to put it in, so it's *very* easy to slip it into Reverse rather than 1st.
This has now been fixed apparently!
