It's a new car so I hope so. I think a visit to the supplying dealer may prove necessary to find out.

For the Focus:
Transaxle ratios
5th gear: 0.756
Final drive: 4.059
If the dealer gives you numbers higher than those then I'm afraid you've got the right gearbox!
Do you know anyone with PDA GPS to test your road speed accuracy? Should find it's within 3-4 mph. Alternatively go into the self-diagnostic mode to test the gauges: Hold down the tripometer reset button and turn the ignition switch to position II or III (from 0). Release the tripometer reset button when TEST is displayed. Keep pressing the test button to go through the various diagnostics. One of them (format XXX.X) is the road speed (mph), and one is the engine speed in rpm (format XXXX).

Interesting. How do you get out of the self-diagnostic mode?

Switch off the ignition.
One thing I forgot to mention, the diagnostic will reset the tripometer, for those who measure fuel economy by it.

Remember that rev counters>> can tell lies too!
This is the most likely. My mates dad has a 99 Mondeo (not the same car, I know!) and his rev counter isn't all that accurate. IIRC It says the engine idles faster than it actually does.
