Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

6DCT450 MPS6 PowerShift External Filter – Ford & Volvo

This external filter is designed for the Ford PowerShift 6DCT450 (MPS6) 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Unlike the internal filter, the external filter sits outside the transmission casing and screens the ATF as it circulates between the gearbox and the external cooler circuit. Replacing the external filter as part of every fluid service ensures clean ATF flow and protects the gearbox from progressive contamination damage.

Fits transmission: 6DCT450 / MPS6 PowerShift 6-speed dual-clutch

Fits vehicles: Ford and Volvo models with the 6DCT450 gearbox — see vehicle compatibility tab for full model and year range.

What is the difference between the internal and external PowerShift filters?

The internal filter (ET2017) sits inside the valve body and catches fine particles from the hydraulic circuit. The external filter (ET2310) is mounted outside the gearbox on the cooler circuit and catches larger contaminants before they can enter the transmission. Both should be replaced together during a full service.

How often should the external filter be replaced on the DCT450?

Ford recommends replacing the external filter at every ATF change — typically every 40,000 miles or more frequently if the vehicle is used in demanding conditions or has experienced gearbox shudder.

Does this filter fit both Gen 1 and Gen 2 DCT450?

Check the vehicle compatibility list for your specific model and year. The external filter location and specification may differ between generations — confirm your gearbox generation before ordering.

Is this filter available as part of a full service kit?

Yes. Eco Torque offers both the individual external filter and combined service kits including the internal filter. Search for "6DCT450 service kit" or contact us for a recommendation.

Is this a genuine Ford part?

This is an aftermarket replacement external filter manufactured to OE dimensions for the 6DCT450 / MPS6 gearbox.
