I had a problem with the Powershift fitted in my daughters Galaxy.

It would only manually select 1, 3, 5 and reverse. When the gearbox man took the mecatronic off the gearbox he found that a small magnet had fallen off one of the selector forks so the gearbox did not know to change gear.

Having said that the gearbox is very weak unless regularly maintained with oil changes.

Our Australian cousins have taken some kind of class action against Ford over the gearbox failures and Ford have been fined $10m dollars. In typical frank Australian way they miss the f out of the name!
