Powershift transmission fluid change DIY

[Jasonp]

I changed the tranny oil a couple weekends ago, per Rondeos instructions. Hardest part was getting the air cleaner housing out. Simple once you know how.

I used forscan on my laptop to get transmission oil temps.

Also I used the penrite dct oil and used about 7L.

Easier to change than the ZF in my falcon.

I bought a socket to undo the filter, but I think a spanner would be easier to use in hindsight.

Last time I left the air box in, used a 90 deg watering system elbow from Bunnings. I had the funnel on pvc tube, held in place with wire.
Makes the job quicker.

I had a workshop at Rothwell service my wifes 09 Focus TDCI auto , for $300 we got a fluid flush and new filter.
It's a completely different car if actually changes gears properly , when gearbox was serviced by ford it wouldn't change gears you would except for an auto.
