Actually, early examples of the wet-clutch Powershift (up to sometime in 2012) were prone to a faulty electronic sensor that could cause erratic driving behaviour as it went bad. Replacement of the sensor cures the issue, but requires specialist skills and equipment as the transmission must be completely dismantled to reach it.

Ask me how I know!
