MD88 flight crew reads back the wrong transition on their amended clearance. The ground controller at dfw fails to catch the error and the flight uses the dfw 283 degree radial versus the 273 degree radial for their transition. Departure controller corrects this error when flight is at 10000 ft.

Narrative:
Flight plan was 'worth 7 departure, ama transition J-6 to tcc...' during taxi out dfw ground control told us to contact our company due to a problem with our flight plan. Ramp tower told us they would refile. When we switched to west ground control, we advised them what was going on. They told us there was no problem with our flight plan, and said we were cleared to abq via worth 7 departure, tcc transition, as filed. With ground control's matter-of-fact demeanor, and saying there was nothing wrong with our flight plan we missed the transition change. During departure, departure control said they showed us north of course and to turn left to 260 degrees for traffic. Using raw data, we complied with the clearance to join the 273 degree radial outbound from dfw. We then reprogrammed the FMS and continued without incident.

Title: MD88 FLC READS BACK THE WRONG TRANSITION ON THEIR AMENDED CLRNC. THE GND CTLR AT DFW FAILS TO CATCH THE ERROR AND THE FLT USES THE DFW 283 DEG RADIAL VERSUS THE 273 DEG RADIAL FOR THEIR TRANSITION. DEP CTLR CORRECTS THIS ERROR WHEN FLT IS AT 10000 FT.
Narrative: FLT PLAN WAS 'WORTH 7 DEP, AMA TRANSITION J-6 TO TCC...' DURING TAXI OUT DFW GND CTL TOLD US TO CONTACT OUR COMPANY DUE TO A PROB WITH OUR FLT PLAN. RAMP TWR TOLD US THEY WOULD REFILE. WHEN WE SWITCHED TO W GND CTL, WE ADVISED THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NO PROB WITH OUR FLT PLAN, AND SAID WE WERE CLRED TO ABQ VIA WORTH 7 DEP, TCC TRANSITION, AS FILED. WITH GND CTL'S MATTER-OF-FACT DEMEANOR, AND SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR FLT PLAN WE MISSED THE TRANSITION CHANGE. DURING DEP, DEP CTL SAID THEY SHOWED US N OF COURSE AND TO TURN L TO 260 DEGS FOR TFC. USING RAW DATA, WE COMPLIED WITH THE CLRNC TO JOIN THE 273 DEG RADIAL OUTBOUND FROM DFW. WE THEN REPROGRAMMED THE FMS AND CONTINUED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
