I have the 6 speed DSG (Auto) gearbox, what sort of problems have you been experiencing? There are a couple of funny/quirky things with this Gearbox, things like if you don't have your foot planted on the brake it takes forever to swap from Reverse to Drive. It has some issues when going down hill, it will hold a gear and then upchange for no real reason and you loose engine braking all of a sudden.

All in all the Gearbox is a solid well sorted system that will get some refinement as Ford adjust the program, I tend like it better than VW's version.
