Highly recommend them.

Where are they at?

Replaced under warranty by who? Mod's void warranty.

Mine is out of warranty anyway. is an 09 Model with 70,000 k on it.

Hi Essgee & thanks for your call

the 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 like

thanks

joe

BTA Motorsports are pretty good on the ZF's as well, just had mine rebuilt there. Ali and his team are good value.

o

There'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.
