It's not a "Slush-Box Automatic" this time around. It's the funky dual-clutch manual transmission Ford calls the "PowerShift" 6 speed auto. No torque converter, no ATF - it's a manual transmission that is electronically "clutched" so there's no 3rd pedal for the driver.

Call it what you will, but it's NOT a conventional automatic.
