Trillionz Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Its a 2009 focus Tdci 2.0 auto. Was advertised as a "Powershift". My question is:- are the clutches wet or dry and with 85k on the clock should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillionz Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Had the manual out and I believe I have a 6DCT450 which seems to be a wet one and it only had its oil and filter changed a year ago just 2K miles agoSo I think I'm good!

Dry clutch is like a conventional car clutch but they have two of them in the auto. Wet is the same but the clutch is in a bath of oil so they last longer.As I understand it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
