Typhoon Member 564 Member For: 20y 4m 25d Gender: Male Posted 20/02/08 09:38 AM Share Posted 20/02/08 09:38 AM Hi guys;I really think I need to service my ZF 6 speed. I was wondering why you need to replace the sump on the ZF when servicing it. Can’t I just flush the box and put new oil in it? How much does the sump cost to replace and is it necessary is my question. Also I think I will just put the factory oil back in it and not the Tranzmax Z. Your thoughts?The reason I think it needs to be serviced is its flaring out in performance mode and seams to be slipping at WOT. In manual mode it does not seam as bad and dose shift fairly well.The car has been modified since 2500kms and now has 18000 on it. The ZF still has the factory oil in it.I have searched the site and have found info on the oil type but not much info on the sump it self.Any advise is appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember how much it costed though sorry. Be prepared to be up for a bit though as the oil from memory costs around $50 a litre!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told the oil that came out of it was still in pretty good nick and looked good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil has to be added at certain temperatures, you can't just fill it up to the top all at once for some reason - the boys in service hate doing it because it takes forever compared to the old BTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
