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.

We have a 2012. its had 3 replacemnt clutches. The last one fitted in February is a ceramic one and works brilliantly.
Take it to a ford dealer 2012 models have warranty on powershift till 2019. I believe it is now sorted and our car will be good for160000kms.
