	Ford Motor Company - Press Release - FIESTA 3-DOOR MODEL SHOWCASES THE NEW DURASHIFT EST TRANSMISSION
		Durashift EST will be available as an option on new Fiesta 3-door models equipped with either the Duratec 16V 1.4-litre petrol engine or, more unusually for this segment, with the 1.4-litre Duratorq TDCi common rail diesel engine.
		Durashift EST is an electro-mechanical adaptation of the Ford iB5 manual transmission that offers considerable benefits over traditional automatic transmissions currently on the market.
		Durashift EST is designed to be extremely robust and has been targeted to be maintenance-free for up to 240,000 kilometres.

		Durashift EST is based on a conventional five-speed manual gearbox, but requires neither gear lever nor clutch pedal.
		Durashift EST is available as a £1,000 option on rear-wheel drive Transits powered by the 90PS 2.4-litre Duratorq DI turbo diesel engine.
		Durashift EST is lighter, more compact, less costly and easier to service than a conventional automatic transmission.

	What Van? - Full Road Test
		Durashift is up for grabs solely on rear-wheel drive Transits powered by the 90 bhp or 125 bhp versions of the four-cylinder 16-valve 2.4-litre TDdi diesel.
		Durashift is very easy to use and the lack of a conventional gearlever sprouting from the floor makes cross cab movement a lot easier.
		While DuraShift is easy enough to use, your slow progress up through the gears in Drive mode is accompanied by a series of jerks, so much so that a lot of drivers will be tempted to switch to manual to avoid the juddering.

		Designed to appeal to enthusiastic drivers, the £1,500 five-speed Durashift 5-tronic is currently only available as an optional extra on 170bhp 2.5-litre V6-engined Mondeos.
		Whatever the car's speed, drivers can switch between the new unit's two functions simply by pulling the lever to the side, away from the D and towards a gate marked with + and -.
		Although purists may still want the ultimate control of a manual, the new box strikes a balance between the two systems that should appeal to long- distance cruisers and city drivers alike.

		September 8 2005 at 8:59 AM I cannot offer you any solution unfortunately but just to let you know that my husband has had constant problems with his Transit Durashift and like you, Ford's "engineers" seem unable to fix it as the same problem is occuring over & over again.
		If there are other people with the same problem, perhaps we could form some sort of action group.
		January 26 2006 at 12:27 PM I have a Transit with the Durashift gearbox which is only just four years old and is currently off the road for the umpteenth time with clutch/gearbox problems.

		Durashift CVT is particularly well matched to the TDCi's impressive torque (240 Nm) and relatively narrow rev band, providing new levels of refinement, driving dynamics and fuel economy.
		It joins the Durashift EST advanced manual transmission and the Durashift five-speed manual transmission, giving Ford one of the most comprehensive powertrain ranges in the small car sector.
		These new technologies are the latest in a flow of advanced transmissions, which also include the Durashift EST advanced manual, the Durashift 5-Tronic and the Durashift 6-speed manual.

		The interior and dashboard are made from far higher quality plastics than before, and the overall feeling of solidity of the car has been increased markedly in a deliberate attempt to emulate the standards set by the Volkswagen Golf.
		It also features either a Durashift 6-speed manual, Durashift 4-speed automatic transmission or the all-new Durashift advanced manual transmission or just the standard manual.
		Stylistically, the Mk II's styling has been criticised by the motoring press for what some perceive as a lack of flair, originality and boldness of its predecessor.
