You didn't say what the circumstances were when it happened . .. do you think it could have overheated due to too much creeping / slipping ? These gearboxes are very reliable normaly , Don't forget to make sure it's gearbox oil and filter are changed at 50000 mile intervals on the service .

It was happening at around 30MPH and almost coasting, go to accelerate and it slips, take my foot off the gas then back on and it changes.

Is it possible to check the gearbox oil in the D2?

It basically works the same though.

i dont think it does , the french ones use a modified manual box with a normal clutch plate and hydraulic actuators which do what your manual gear lever does , It is very jerky and has delays between gear changes . horrible

The powershift is designed from scratch for the job it has a manual gearset and selectors , the way it changes from one gear to the next is that it releases the one clutch whilst engaging the second clutch ,( one clutch will be driving the current gear and the other will be connected to the next gear but not engaged yet ) if the timings are right you get a very smooth gearchange ..
Powershift is FORD ..
