Disadvantages of the Ford MPS6i gearbox
- The weak point of this transmission is the splined connection of the even-numbered hub;
- Frequent abrupt starts can tear out the splines, causing the robotic transmission to go into emergency mode;
- Remaining problems are related to clutch wear and contamination of the mechatronics;
- Clutch pack wear is greatly accelerated by oil leaks through the seal;
- The dual-mass flywheel has a short service life, sometimes less than 150,000 km.
