I'm surprised to see very little mention here, of the known problem with these gearboxes. Things like clunky changes during low speed acceleration, etc.
Anyone here owned a Ford with one of these Powershift gearboxes. If so has it displayed any of these problems.
I believe Ford had a recall on this matter but it only lasted until the beginning of 2015 and so if the problem appears you'll have to pay to get it fixed.

I have the same car, but I only experience this only if the weather is HOT (30C+) and if driving it for more than an hour.
One thing I notice is a clunking sound whenever I slow down and tried to gain speed.
