Transmission itself is great. Could be other things as mentioned here but common issue outside actuators/TCM would be the clutch in the bell housing. Recommend when accelerating from a stop to go heavier on the gas so it engages more hard. Could prob dive it like that for a few years but eventually will gunk up with enough dust inside that the actuators won’t be able to move the forks. Most shops will charge $3,500+ to replace. If you’re good with DIY you can prob do the job when the time comes yourself for about $750 for the Luk repset and dual clutch trans fluid.

Pros: transmission is great
Cons: clutch gunk up with dust
Vehicle: Ford Focus

Excedy HD is my go-to. Extra clamping force, no massive change in drive ability, reasonable price.

Pros: extra clamping force
Cons: no massive change

Every element I test drove had a heavy mushy clutch. The throw out bearing on mine went before the clutch, then replaced with an exedy oem kit and it feels way better.

Pros: feels way better
Cons: heavy mushy clutch

So, if you just take that flywheel to a machine shop to scuff it up, lathe it down to have a perfect fresh surface, you can just put a new LuK or Sachs clutch kit on it.

Pros: nice and quiet
Cons: makes a horrific racket

Also it’s an Exedy oem replacement kit. To be more specific, I know some travel is normal without the slave installed. The issue is that the fork and bearing don’t even make contact with the pressure plate until the slave is almost completely extended.

Motivated by being able to drive my daily driver again I just went with what the mechanic recommended, failed to do the research. Now regretting driving experience on replacement kit with exedy single mass flywheel, and it looks like they had a dual mass kit that was only like $100 more.

Somehow engages later than the failing factory clutch, and shudders. Haven't felt like such an idiot driving a manual in 22 years

Cons: engages later, shudders
