Who makes this kit?

S-TEC, under their part number SP03006. It replaces the original Powershift Gen 2 clutch listed under OE numbers AMFU3R7L516AA and RMDS7R7L516BA, and comes with the front clutch cover in the same box.

Why replace the cover at the same time as the clutch?

The cover forms the sealing and reaction surface for the clutch pack. Reusing the old cover risks oil seepage and incorrect clutch engagement forces, which can shorten the life of the new clutch. For a lasting repair, replace both together - this kit has both.

How do I tell if I have a Generation 1 or Generation 2 Powershift?

Generation 1 is the DCT450/MPS6 (earlier models, approximately 2008-2011). Generation 2 is the DCT451 (later models, from approximately 2012 onwards). The gearbox code and vehicle build date are the most reliable indicators. Send us your VIN if unsure.

Can I fit this kit to a Generation 1 (DCT450) Powershift?

No. The DCT450 and DCT451 clutch packs are not interchangeable. Always confirm your gearbox generation before ordering.

What are the symptoms of a failing Powershift Gen 2 clutch?

Typical symptoms include shudder or vibration when pulling away, hesitation between low gears or when changing direction, sudden loss of drive, and Powershift-related fault codes. A gearbox specialist scan is recommended before replacing the clutch.

Do I need to reprogram the gearbox after fitting?

Yes. After a clutch replacement on the MPS6 Powershift, a mechatronic adaptation and clutch learn procedure must be carried out with Ford-compatible diagnostic equipment. This cannot be skipped. Professional fitting is recommended.

What happened to ETB3742?

Our ETB3742 clutch and cover bundle is now this single kit: S-TEC supplies the clutch and the cover together, so one part number covers both. If you only need the cover, it is still sold on its own as ET3743.
