I've driven this six-speed torque converter box in the Tourneo Connect 1.6 EcoBoost and it was fine. What was odd was that no one working for Ford on the launch could or would tell me if it was the Getrag Powershift or the six-speed torque converter auto, so I had to work that one out for myself.

One advantage it does have over the Powershift is no need to change the fluid and microfilter every 3 years at a cost of £300. I'd also guess that the torque converter can take more torque than the Powershift.
