Default SVT Focus is down

Well I was driving home from work today. I hit a red light so I put it in nutral and am just fucking around, I see the light is about to turn green so I go to put it in gear. Well I can't get it in gear. After playing with it for a few minutes trying to get it in gear I finaly got it in 1st and took off. Problem was that 1st is all that its good for. So I had a nice drive home tonight in 1st gear.

w00t!!! Welcome to the world of Focus Quality...or lack there of. Heard of a couple people having problems with that Getrag 6-speed, but it seems to happen on very rare occurances. Guess you got "lucky". Hope you get it fixed quickly.

The Focus is faster than his crappy modular motor Mustang. Now if he had some pushrods under the hood, it could be a different story.
