Was your box one that required a reflash?
Have you made enquiries as to what a supply and fit new box will cost once out of warranty? (which would have a big impact on whether the car was kept for a long time or sold off before any costly issues I imagine).
As I've stated before a mates Mk5 Golf Gti dsg box went, outside warranty, one dealership wanted near $10K for supply and fit of a new one, think he ended up around the $7K mark elsewhere....
Anyways, a manuals always in the right gear, everytime, it doesn't hunt, shudder or need to learn a style of driving. And is cheaper (clutch is $1430 at Ford, half that elsewhere mind) when something goes bang. One of the many benefits of being able to drive a manual.
