Warranty is gone in 2/3rds that distance so they really don't care!They ship with ZF Lifeguard fluid which is notoriously expensive.Beaten by Arron!Hypnodoc gave some good info in this thread:http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76845-zf-serviced/No worries SteveR. Mine stopped the hunting as soon as the Life Guard was put back in. If you want to go to the real stuff Precise or Precision Automatics in Osborne Park are the best for price and service, no new sump included as it wasalready steel. $530 for full flush and filter usuing Life Guard and fit new heat exchanger (I supplied the heat exchanger) others wanted as much as $850 to just do a dump and half fill.I'm still interested in the Gulf Western Syntrans if we can find a good deal on it. Also filter and gasket kits. Failing that I'll have a look into this Precision Automatics mob. Edited 17/08/13 07:45 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 5m 16d Posted 17/08/13 11:59 AM Share Posted 17/08/13 11:59 AM (edited) I'd Prefer to use something that's been tried and tested by thousands of hours of testing from the factory, especially when auto trans repairs can be very costly. A while ago the Lexus cars had a gearbox that was very picky on the fluid it uses, and would never seem to run right on any aftermarket stuff even that was recommended to replace the original which was very expensive at dealerships, gearbox hunting, just not shifting as well, working fine then playing up a month later.So I Imported a Pallet of it and and sold it to people. Perhaps if people like I can do the same for the Genuine ZF Stuff if there is enough interest. Edited 17/08/13 12:01 PM by Z2TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often is it recommended to replace the oil? I use to have the problem in my BF when using Transmax where in cruise control the revs would dance about 200rpm.. man it would give me the sh*ts.. I thought it was just my car.Would love to see another mantainence day organized at that hoist/garage place Edited 17/08/13 11:22 PM by AaronXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re reading the zf fluid change threads inspires confidence as there are a few comments along the lines of it's not that hard. I'm a little paranoid about getting the fluid level correct at such and such temperature like the official procedure states but others have not bothered from what I read and are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
