That’s all I can say
I’ve mentioned it constantly
Engine revs loudly when driving 40 or 60 Ks an hour ( some areas here it’s 40)
Engine revs loudly at traffic lights stop signs ect and doesn’t want to stay still a few times it’s gone towards the car in front
When it had its last service January 16 waiting in line it was revving loudly
I told them this . Dealer serviced the car told me no issues and battery as good last year same battery they said was bad ��*♂️
I don’t know what more I can say I can’t trade a car in if I wanted to that’s screaming out transmission needs servicing now . Auto transmission shops won’t touch tell me dealers have the parts and dealer blames battery what am I supposed to do
I’ve owned a few cars some bad lemons but they were never this bad
RAA guy told me a car this age hadn’t done enough Ks

Some of the things you say don't add up. e.g.

your transmission is a dual clutch transmission. It won't engage into gear unless you release the brakes regardless of how much the engine is revving.
you mentioned in your initial posts

So it’s booked in at the ford dealership for its 165’000 service

and then you went on to say

165k is good enough Ks, enough to end the life of clutches on this car, which may explain your revving but doesn't make sense why would RAA say that
you also mentioned

is it because it loses gear or does it rev even if you release the accelerator?
