Default Service difference between Auto / Manual Focus!

Ok...

Playing around with the capped price feature on the Ford website....

2010 Focus TDCI Auto - $860 for the 60K service.

$450 for the manual.

Why the $400+ difference?

I researched a "Log book service" comparison site and they gave identical prices / servicing procedures for both transmissions. (around the $470-$530 mark for my area).

http://www.fixedpricecarservice.com....rviceID=585801

Also note that the above price INCLUDES a brake fluid flush, (an additional $125 extra with the Ford servicing).

Anyone know the justification behind the difference? It seems that the transmission is quite irrelevant to the parts / labour according to the above schedules?

Will take a look at the service booklet when I get home to see what is actually done at 60,000km.

Cheers,

Jason
