as for now ford is saying its normal....

I enjoy the DCT, it's almost as good as a manual....note, I said almost, not as good as, nothing is as good as a manual transmission, and have gotten used to it and the way it shifts, but a couple of things that I thought might have to do with gas saving functions have become noticeable, such as a rough idle after deceleration, inconsistent engine speed after deceleration and rpm spiking have been attributrd to the DCT. Again, I wish the DCT shifted either by the "stick" or by "flappy paddles", but for now, they don't. I'm happy with the car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new car in that size.
