Has Ford solved its Powershift problems?
I recently had a Powershift new clutch pack fitted to my 2015 1.6 petrol Focus at 17000 miles under warranty due to the normal judder problems. The car now drives very well. Has Ford improved the clutch packs to the point where they are likely to continue to be reliable?

No. Stopped fitting them. Replaced them with six-speed torque converter in Focus and eight-speed torque converter in Focus. The clutch packs last a lot longer if you don't sit on the brakes in Drive. Only safe to do that if the stop/start cuts the engine, otherwise you wear the clutches.
