dual clutch say it all, it will never behave like a conventional auto and judder at low speed is expected
i usually tell ppl to look for cvt if smooth trans they needed & stay away from ford's dual clutch worst its a dry clutch, mechanical noises r unbearable sometimes and infamous overheat & horse ride experience which not treated as abnormal by manual drivers buy merc or vw or expensive dual clutch they perform better QUOTE(zenix @ May 16 2016, 11:01 AM) the first major problem with high tech stuff in malaysia is maintenance as malaysians are typically stubborn and cheapskate yet want the latest tech to show off, when CVT's first launch sales was good people show off the great fuel economy of the CVT's from Honda, then when it was time for service they found out that CVT needed special gearbox oil at honda service centers so instead of just following spec many of these stingy & stubborn owners that think they know better and think honda trying to cheat them bring the cars out to XYZ workshop and put normal gearbox oil into the CVT gearboxes.....needless to say the vast majority of the gearbox failures and warranty not claimable are by these lot of people. generally if it is well maintained the chances of failure is reduced. secondly driving behavior although tested to withstand most people's driving behavior, if it is well maintained it should still be okay, drive like an idiot and skip maintenance is a recipe for disaster. thirdly, no matter how good production QC is nowadays there is still the 1% chance of getting a lemon. here is a quote from the link below: CODE It’s been a few years since I’ve driven anything with Ford’s PowerShift dual clutch transmission, which launched in 2010 with more problems than an algebra book, some of which were real, while others were imagined by customers. Ford made the mistake of calling the PowerShift an automatic, without explaining to consumers that the transmission was really a manual transmission that is shifted automatically. That blunder brought with it a customer expectation that the PowerShift would change gears just as smoothly and behave exactly the same as a regular hydraulic automatic transmission. So, when the PowerShift didn’t behave that way, Ford’s complaint lines lit up and its quality scores took a big hit. There were a few initial technical problems that Ford engineers quickly addressed with a combination of redesigned parts and software changes. sos |
