Do you know if he found out what it was? I switched back 2 stock shifter and I tighned up the shifter cable , it was real loose, and it seems better. I'm so sick of dealing w this car.

You and me both Sounds like a synchro issue, I'd first start with readjusting the cables though, like you did, the cables are prone to fall off, come loose, or become unadjusted so the problem most likely lays there.

Hope its not the synchro, the getrag is a very rare transmission so most people just replace it, $$$$

those trans are not as strong as the reg focus, syncros are known issue for those

dan if for some reason you need parts, i have a complete spare trans and also a box full of spare parts. you cant get parts for our trans.

Can you explain a little more please?
My d*mn stock shifter has always been real sloopy - if there is a way to adjust it or tighten, I would like to know what I should do:biggthump

Here's how to do the linkage adjustment: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1979054&#post1979054

And to reattach the cables:

Best thread I could find, I have no firsthand knowledge of reattaching the cables, never had to knock on wood, but I have had to readjust them.

Yes this is what it was. I actually did adjust them and its much better, but I still need 2 zip tie the cable. I'm just glad its not the syncros.
