Transmission will not shift at all. I would like to see ford put in manual (stick shift) transaxle, because it would be less maintenance for the owner, so only the engine will be a problem. I know that many owners will agree with me. A smaller engine like a 4 cyl. would be more economic for owners, with bigger cylinder bore which means more torque for the vehicle.
