Skidude Member 115 Member For: 15y 3m 21d Gender: Male Location: Penrith, NSW Posted 10/09/11 10:59 AM Share Posted 10/09/11 10:59 AM Posted this on a few other places - so you may have already sighted the pic below.Had the ZF serviced today at 85k. Have been running 305rwkw since 70k. Done a few track days - no drags.Cost $350 at an Auto trans place. My ZF had the steel pan so only labour, gasket, filter & fluid required.Make your own deductions about Fords "the ZF is sealed for life" mumbo jumbo from this pic.
