The automatic transmission assembly with reference number AG9R7000GL is designed for the MPS6 (also known as 6DCT450) 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Developed by Getrag for Ford and Volvo, this unit features a "wet clutch" design capable of handling high torque, delivering rapid shifts and improved fuel efficiency for the Ford Mondeo, S-Max, and related platforms.

Key Features:
✅ Wet Clutch Design: Oil-cooled clutches handle high torque and dissipate heat effectively.
✅ Pre-selection: Next gear is pre-selected on the alternate shaft for seamless, instant shifts.
✅ High Efficiency: Direct mechanical drive reduces power loss compared to torque converters.
✅ Adaptive Logic: Continuously adjusts shift points and clutch engagement based on driving style.
✅ AWD Ready: Includes output for Rear Power Take-Off (PTO) in AWD configurations.
Technical Notes:
Critical Installation Requirements:
-
Fluid Specification: Must use Ford WSS-M2C936-A fluid only. Standard ATF will cause immediate failure.
-
Mechatronic Calibration: Professional diagnostic tools (Ford IDS or Volvo VIDA) are required to calibrate the Mechatronic Unit (TCM), perform clutch adaptation, and learn gear positions after installation.
-
Fill Procedure: Complex process requiring the engine to be running at specific temperatures while filling via the overflow plug.
-
Break-in: The vehicle may shift roughly for the first 50-100 km while the TCM relearns clutch bite points.
Common Issues & Maintenance:
-
Shudder/Judder: Often caused by degraded fluid or clutch wear. Regular fluid changes (every 60,000 km) are essential.
-
Mechatronic Failure: Internal seal or solenoid failures can trigger "Gearbox Malfunction" warnings; sometimes only the mechatronic unit needs replacement.
-
Overheating: Aggressive driving or towing can overheat the wet clutches; ensure the cooler is clean.
