Disadvantages of the Ford MMT6 gearbox
- This is a reliable, but rather complex three-shaft manual transmission;
- At approximately 100,000 to 150,000 km, the gearshift mechanism begins to wear out significantly;
- Then, shifting difficulties begin, especially noticeable in winter;
- At high mileage, the synchronizers in the first two gears often wear out;
- This manual transmission is also equipped with a dual-mass flywheel, which is not the most durable.
