65,000 mpc on my LCR.  
 
It was only just starting to slip, but I drive like a dick  
 
My old Zetec-S was 55k 
 
 
I've never had a new gearbox though on any vehicle I've owned, or any vehicle my family members have owned.

No you dont get it, I'm not that fussed as I don't have Mini tinted glasses in the same way that Ojc has Vauxhall tinted ones   I won't try to defend or deny it when there is clearly a problem
