Nothing else can really go wrong with it.Start saving for a mal opt3. best clutch ever! but heavy as.Everyone I know with a zf (excluding trainer) is scared of breaking it. Even I was... you no longer need to worry. The engine will let go before the boxYeah I've said that all along, don't care how noisy it is as long as it's solid. Think it will be a bit more rewarding running a decent time in a manual too, if it ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong.. I'll dig out my bottle tomorrow to check.It's is.Plenty of manuals run auto fluid. T5's run Dexron III. Even some of the trucks I have at work run DexronIII.I believe Transmax Z is the standard oil for the Explorer auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I was... you no longer need to worry. The engine will let go before the boxHaha, if it is gonna happen it is gonna happen! I would rather have no torque reduction and lightning gear changes than a fart and a boring gearbox. power sliding through first and second is very achievable with my current setup, and for me that is as fun as getting the power down and going fast.Edit: and I know you have done a transmission transplant before paulie, so if it breaks you will come and change it over right?

If yours breaks I will gladly put a new zf(manual) in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
