I hear Ford somehow messed that up when the trans grew a 5th gear, any XR4Ti guys care to chime in on that? To me, every other car's gear change feels like a box of notches in comparison.
none that I ever owned....... in fact the Capri had a nasty habit(worn shifter) of engaging 2 gears at the same time!!!!! If you weren't careful while @ a stop, it was possible to engage 1st and 3rd requiring me to crawl under the car to disengage them so I could move..........
