The clutch tranny problem is caused by a warped flywheel. It is a problem on 2007, 2008, and early 2009 cars. It's called the tranny/clutch TSB. It is covered under warranty, but there must be a problem before Ford will fix it(the first sign of trouble is a vibration). It seems that the flywheel problem transfers to the dual-disk clutch and then to the transmission (if not addressed quickly).



It will be a daily driver and parked outside.
Very nice car and a good price. But isn't a warped flywheel considered a problem and should be corrected before they sell the cars and then have to fix that plus any other damage it may cause?
