The most important part is making sure your Tuner knows how to set the torque tags or it will die regardless of what you do or spend.. :surrenderwave:

If you’re running an old tune talk to your tuner and ask him to update the trans setting in your tune. I’m sure most would do that for a small fee which is well worth it.

I take your point, but I would say the average standard of a tradesman of today is pretty low. So I find that alot cant be trusted so you end up having to redo the job yourself or you do the job yourself when its got to be done properly.

Dont have so little faith in your forum members. There are many very smart blokes around. With the right amount of info, many are very capable. I see alot of great work around. Sharing knowledge will do no harm.

On the other hand yes there are many "--it for brains" who will get themselves into a mess. But who cares, look after ones who are capable.

hiro f6 I can't find any zf parts on your website. can you post a link or something please?

F6_Tornado - what do we replace the B and E clutches with? factory ones and add some more clutch packs or is there a better/stronger quality set?

I only use genuine ZF parts but there maybe other after market parts out there just I don't know as I've not looked.. The genuine is cheap so no point in my opinion.

Different Clutch packs have different thickness Plates and different quantities in relationship to the transmission spec so you need to shuffle these to increase the volume in a given clutch. you may also machine down pistons and change end plates and lock rings depending again on what clutch and whats available. These then need to be set to certain heights,

Nothing too high tech really and I'm sure many could do it themself...

Rubber pan gaskets - $8.20

Steel pan conversions - $170

Genuine Filers - $72

Aftermarket Filters - $22

Genuine Plastic Pans - $194

Please PM me with any enquiries you might have, I dont intend on listingall of the ZF parts I have available.

ok so im in perth and in the short future want to start pushing some bigger numbers (currently it is 300rwkw) and I have just felt a small shudder on 1st-2nd change up its running the genuine ford oil so im planning on flushing the oil and replacing with transmax z and seeing if it changes. would you recommend removing the box and send it to get the upgrades you have spoken about before the power increase or are the parts that will fail not do further damage and be the same sort of cost? and altho im a mechanic and have built autotrans without any problems so far if you have taught someone here in perth to do the zf box and they know exsactly what there doing id probably just remove and send to them and save myself the hassle.... so can someone give me MTE details with a contact name?
