Volvo PowerShift gearbox
Apparently Volvo only used a wet clutch version of this Ford/Gertrag derived autobox, thus avoiding the same issues experienced with the Ford focus. That was certainly the case in 2008, when it was released, but what about six years later in 2014 T4 models?

All the powershift boxes are a heap of crap,
Seen far to many fail well before 100k |

Clutch packs slip when driving,
Internal solenoids fail and box refuses to change gear or drops out of gear randomly, Harsh shifts into 1st and reverse, Changing oil every 50,000 miles doesn't guarantee they will last any longer either, The earlier boxes fitted to the 2.0d's seem worst but then they are getting older now |

I test drive a 2013 v 70 this week with a power shift box. It was utter pants. Bump bang, bump, clunk.
I didn't buy it. Stick with a slush box, that's my advice and I'm following it. |
