Martyitus Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I've had my car about 6 months now, every time it sets off from 1st it judders, it feels like wheelspin but it definitely isn't. After 1st it's perfect there are no other problems and it's smooth when shifting. I've read somewhere that it's something to do with being a dry dual clutch, but that's all I found. It's an automatic 2.0 diesel. Just curious if anyone else had experienced this? It can get very annoying in traffic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Mark, You might be interested in this thread: ScaniaPBman has something to say re the PowerShift box. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Common on the powershift. Need to take it for an aggressive drive occasionally. Also stiffening the rear engine mount helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaniaPBman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 As I understand it, the PowerShift dual clutch auto box is specified on Focus models in USA. There is a good general Focus web site based there with lots of info on transmissions problems. That's a bad sign, people only post when they have a problem. This is the site http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/general-technical-chat/ You have to be a member to carry out a search but you can bypass this requirement with this trick. In Google construct a search in this format powershift site:http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/general-technical-chat/ It will only search the nominated site and give you results containing the selected word. Replace the word powershift with any other you think would home in on your problem better and search again. I personally don't use Google because of their policy on data storage and tracking. This search trick will work equally well on https://duckduckgo.com/ They don't track you and do just as good a search. Good luck, ScaniaPBman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyitus Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. One thing I forgot, it's fine when I drive in the morning until the engine warms up. Strange eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
