The CHEAPEST price I can get anywhere in town (and ive tried EVERYWHERE) is going to be about $450 for a plastic pan/filter, 8L of transmax Z, and labour. Ford quote 3.5hours labour just for the service. theres nearly $300 alone, Yet it takes about 45mins to 1hr to do correctly with the scantool.

A minor service of the gearbox only takes a few minutes but 3 hours???????Unless you mean they charge you for the 3 hour parking at their dealership for a job that could be done in less than 10 min Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72549-zf-auto-pan-gasket-kit-servicing/page/3/#findComment-1070967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate S & H do all the silver service Ford taxis and literally have at anytime 4 – 6 ZF’s just sitting there ready to be thrown in any ZF ‘ed Ford that rolls in! They also have big stocks of Steel pan’s and filters! As I said they charged me $440.00 Including GST and I reckon it took the guy about 45 – 50 mins to complete!

Just another way ford can stiff you more labour time for $$$.But for the price it is to rebuild these suckers, and how far I am from ANYWHERE who id trust to touch my gearbox,id rather have it done by the scantool just for safety.

It appears that you seem unhappy that these S & H guys can actually do a good by the book ZF service cheaper and the guys you have found!I would have thought that they guys in the south Sydney Area or for that matter any of the Sydney guys would be stoked to know that they can get a full ZF oiled, steel pan and filter for under $450.00!I sent 4RZILA tro them and he too was really happy with their work and more importantly their price!
