Getrag’s MPS6, sold by Ford as the 6DCT450, is a wet-clutch six-speed dual-clutch gearbox rated at 450 Nm. Volvo markets it as Powershift and Ford uses the same name in its own models — it is the same unit, so parts and repair solutions largely carry across.

Typical failures
These are the reasons this gearbox usually gets replaced — check your own symptoms before ordering:
- dual-clutch wear: shuddering and juddering when pulling away
- mechatronic valve body failure — the gearbox drops into limp mode
- skipped oil services — the fluid needs changing about every 60,000 km

Where to find your gearbox code
The gearbox code is the decisive detail: the same gearbox model was built under several codes, and they differ in ratios and software. There are three places to find it: the type plate on the gearbox casing, the equipment sticker on the first pages of the service book, or ask us — we check it against the VIN. Send the code or the VIN with your enquiry and we will supply the right unit.
