About This Transmission

The Ford DPS6, marketed by Ford as PowerShift and engineered as the 6DCT250, is a 6 speed dry dual-clutch automatic transmission used in the Ford Fiesta, Focus, C-Max, and select Fusion trims from 2010 through 2019. Unlike a traditional torque-converter automatic, the DPS6 uses two dry clutches and a Transmission Control Module to deliver shifts that are quicker than a hydraulic automatic and more fuel-efficient at the same time. Inside the case, two clutch packs alternate engagement as the gearbox swaps between odd and even gear pairs.

This setup gives the DPS6 PowerShift its signature feel: brisk acceleration off the line, manual-like efficiency on the highway, and lower fuel consumption than a comparable conventional automatic. For Fiesta and Focus owners replacing a worn or coded-out unit, a clean used DPS6 is a far better value than rebuilding the original.

Signs You Need a Replacement DPS6

Shudder or jerkiness during low-speed acceleration, clutch wear or TCM adaptation drift
Hard or delayed shifts between 1st and 2nd gear, dual mass flywheel or clutch fork wear
Transmission warning light, TCM faults or stored shift adapt codes
Loud bearing noise from the bell-housing area, input shaft bearing wear
Slipping or no engagement in one gear range, clutch pack failure
Burning smell after stop-and-go driving, dry clutch wear

Known DPS6 Issues We Inspect Before Shipping

Clutch fork wear and clutch pack thickness, the most common DPS6 failure point
TCM operation and stored adapt values, critical for smooth performance after install
Input shaft and bearing condition
Case integrity and seal surfaces
Mechatronic unit operation where applicable
Year-specific TSB updates, documented when present

FAQs

What vehicles use the DPS6 PowerShift transmission?

The Ford Fiesta (2011 to 2019), Ford Focus (2012 to 2018), Ford C-Max (2013 to 2019), and select Ford Fusion trims (2013 to 2016) used the DPS6. Performance variants like the Focus ST, Focus RS, and Fiesta ST use a manual transmission instead.

Why do DPS6 transmissions sometimes feel jerky?

The DPS6 uses two dry clutches that engage and disengage rapidly during shifts. Adaptive learning and proper fluid level usually smooth this out after a TCM relearn. Worn clutch packs or outdated TCM software are the most common causes of persistent shudder. We inspect both before shipping.

Can the DPS6 TCM be reprogrammed after install?

Yes. Ford issued multiple TCM software updates during the DPS6 production run. After installation a Ford dealer or qualified independent shop can flash the latest calibration and run the TCM adaptive relearn procedure for smooth operation.

What fluid does the DPS6 require?

Ford-specific dual clutch transmission fluid only. Conventional ATF will damage the DPS6. We drain the unit before shipping and provide fluid spec recommendations.
