Beats a new gearbox...

The only thing I would be worried about other than fluid is the clutch. 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 box

Yeah 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.

Paulie I thought ATF was Automatic Transmission Fluid? 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.

Haha, 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?

hahaha yeah that fart noise is terrible. cant be doing that much good if the b series never had it and most lived.

If yours breaks I will gladly put a new zf(manual) in it.

nah the fart noise is the result of the torque reduction on gear changes to try and protect the box, it can be removed in normal custom tuning (read: not zf tuning)

Happy to go manual if I do break it!
