and that's where we come in, just tell the truth that Powershift was that bad,
Ford was forced to get rid of it and go with a Ford/GM co-developed torque converter automatics..
The skinny version,
1.5 EB 8F15 8-speed auto is Ford's evolution of Ford/GM 6-speed auto co-development (2006-)
2.0 EB 8F35 8-speed auto co-developed with GM 9T50 9-speed auto but with 4th gear eliminated.
