The PowerShift 6DCT250 dual-clutch automatic gearbox on Focus Mk3 shudders on pull-away and hesitates between gears. A Ford TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) software update reduces the issue but does not eliminate it on worn clutch packs. Clutch replacement costs £500-900. Mechatronic issues add £400-700.
