joe@cms Member 129 Member For: 15y 4m 25d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/12 11:39 PM Share Posted 10/08/12 11:39 PM Hi Essgee & thanks for your callthe problem is once a box starts to slip & depending on how long you let it go for then the damage is done !!... if the steels get hot spotted just like a flywheel with a manual clutch the next time you give it a hard time the friction can not get a full contact on the metal plate then they start to warp, adding a cooler after the fact is like saying what about if I replace the oil in it every week & drive it sedately, & yeah it may prolong it if you do drive it sedately but we dont !! that why I say take it back & get all of the ZF & normal trans changes reverted back to std & drive it for a week the megatronic will relearn & if your lucky enough, you could have saved your box but if it still slips & flairs its to late.we are build a ZF from a customer from Queensland I'll take pics of what stuffed fiction & steels look likethanksjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali and his team are good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 13y 10m 21d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 20/08/12 01:35 AM Share Posted 20/08/12 01:35 AM oThere's no argument. Plenty of ZF's failing without any mod's. Anyway, I didn't raise this topic to generate ' I told you so's'Appreciate all feedback.I don't think I've seen a ZF on an unmodified car fail other than the ZF Milkshake which is a design flaw rather than this which is excess wear and tear above what the box was designed for.I think there's a company in WA that do really good ZF rebuilds but I can't think of the name. Their cost includes freight there and back from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
