higgsy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 From what I've read there are 3 filling holes on the powershift and its got to be filled in a certain way to ensure its properly filled. Haven't been able to find the exact process though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvin28168 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Artscot79, mk2.5 powershift transmission is different from mk1's getrag transmission. Mine is basically a dual clutch manual transmission, two cluthes working in parallel. And from the pictures on the link the drain plug and filling plug are very far different from mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 try these also found this Ford has stated that the powershift transmission is maintenance free andhas a life span of 150,000 miles. Does anyone know what happens after150K? Get a new one? Replace the oil and clutches? How would you know todo this? Wait for it to fail, just do at 150K? Ford does not give goodinfo on this...Piero Aversa of Ford says..."A dual dry-clutch transmission provides some real dividends on small-and medium-sized car applications," explains Piero Aversa, Ford's ofAutomatic Transmission Engineering. "The transmission improvesefficiency, increases smoothness, adds durability and is sealed withlow-friction gear lubricant for the 150,000-mile projected life of thevehicle. This transmission requires no regular maintenance."This raises the question of after 150K. Cars today are lasting longer than that, yes? other than that ive read its not a do it youreself job and should be done by the dealers only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvin28168 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yup I heard about that but too many Focus here in the Philippines suffered of transmission malfunction with powershift type and I don't want to be one of them (fingers crossed in both hands). And the sad thing is most of the Ford service Casa's cannot fix the problem easily as they're saying that parts are not available and needed to wait for quite some time and the most horrible part is the transmission replacement parts' cost is almost the cost of a 2nd hand car here in the Philippines. That's a lot of money..Almost 4000 UK pounds. That is for the TCM alone (transmission control module). If fooling people will make your way straight to hell then for sure these people are on the A list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Never liked these fancy gearboxes ill take a standard 5 or 6 speed grom what ive read at 150k the box is going to need fixed looks like there isnt much choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
