Different transmissions (ZF in falcon, Aisin in Mondeo) so whilst there are certainly 6 speeders that can handle the torque, fitting one to the Mondeo would be a large task. Hadn't realised there was no auto on the 2.2. This is quite disappointing as Ford have an advantage in offering auto on their diesel (as opposed to Mazda6) and the 2.2 looks a ripper.
Interestingly, I'm reasonably sure that the diesel Mondeo is torque limited in the first 2 gears (tested purely by the seat of my pants!) as I feel my TDCi has just a little more go once in third. Could be wrong.....
