...darn typos ..you know I meant 2007 focus
you know I meant 2007 focus
Thanks for the reply @dnalor50 it helps heaps... 😊Anyway shes in the hands of Hyundai now, they're going to loom at the stereo too whilst shes in there. Be interesting to see what they say although I have a feeling they will come back saying it's all fine. I think she just needs some fine tuning, hopefully they plug her in and do a few tweaks and that fixes the issue *crosses fingers*
I'd be very interested to hear what the dealer says was / is the problem.I drive up Mt Ousley daily with no issue. (I do have the diesel though).Hopefully all will be sorted.
the gear change is very slow. I find I have to press the clutch right to the floor, move the gear stick to the point of engagement and then ease it gently into gear. If you do this on a hill you will lose lots of momentum, so its best to change down early. With the 2007 Ford Focus (not sure about the 2017 ,sadly) a cursory stab at the clutch and a quick flick of the stick was sufficient. Any "stick flicking " on the SR results in high resistance and grating gears/synchro.

My Wife's 2014 1.6 GDi Tourer is no racing car but by the time it had done 10,000 kilometres the gearbox has been smooth and quick to change (no baulking or grating even if hurried)

...try double shuffle ( quick clutch move to neutral , then quick rev of motor clutch & shift at same time ) but normally not needed, a good gear box can flat shift fast ...
I still double de-clutch at times.
Ok so update....Wonders will never cease! Road test = all fine and plug in showed no faults. However my trusty dash cam (iroadv9 so front and rear and audio lol) shows a drive down the road and shuts off then aprx 4 min later its in the workshop so hmmmmm....The radio was updated and seems better, hasn't frozen so theres a plus.Currently considering my options.And yeah my gears resist and grind if I try too shift too quick.... must be a SR thing. I do miss that about the focus, she liked to run up through the gears. My dads 01 laser SR is the sameI think the gear box is tall for the engine. A 5sp would have been better suited. Anyway maybe time to visit another mechanic and a dyno

Yes, The reviewer does not seem impressed with the SR performance but, unlike you and dnalor50, he says: "The six-speed manual had a good spread of ratios, and offered a precise, direct shift. It swapped cogs smoothly ..." @dnalor50. Im sorry that our responses were "very guarded acknowledgment that there is a problem". Not our intention to avoid the subject and glad to see that you have re-entered the discussion. Similar to our interest in Bec's SR drama, we suggested too heavy oil used in the gearbox or ( and this is my main suspicion) the clutch is not disengaging properly.You previously wrote: "The clutch must be pushed hard to the floor for each gear change. The gear stick needs to be moved to the point of engagement and then slowly eased into gear." Have you physically observed the pedal to master cylinder and master cylinder to slave cylinder action?Does there appear to be a lag in movement between each component, either air in fluid or mechanical adjustment can cause this.In other words, if the clutch pedal has to go to the floor before it ( probably only partially) disengages the clutch, is there a lot of pedal free play when you first begin to press on the clutch.?There is a metal push rod from the pedal to the master cylinder. It may need adjustment.
5. Who the hell, in 2017, changes gear "with a well defined pause before easing it into gear"
