Zf 6Spd Tune Is It Worth It

[Jason87]

Ok so I have a fg 313kw I'm happy with the power but not the shifting I loved the way my old ba shifted so firm an power skidded through the gears with ease have many of use got the zf tune an what's your opinions on it... Any advice would be good

It all depends on what you want out of your trans. Talk to your tuna and see if he can offer what you want/expect out of the zf.

mate got his done ,and now it stalls up 1000 rpm higher .(have not seen it my self ) but that is what he said to me

I have not been in many ZF equipped turbo cars.

-My standard G6ET.

-A short ride in a forum members modified G6ET (without gearbox tune)

-A short ride in a mates F6E which was modified including gearbox tune.

My impressions are:

The ZF is a fantastic auto gearbox.

And

The tuning of the gearbox in the F6E made it even better again. Shifts were very firm, fast and smooth in the F6E under fast acceleration and seemed as normal (ie very good) driving normally.

If I had a Turbo with a ZF it would definitely be tuned. Makes a major difference to the speed of the shifts.

I have to give a huuuuge +1 for a ZF tune but you have to make sure that your tuna knows what he's doing (either SCT or HP)

It's fine to 'firm up' the shifts and set shift points for your needs but go too far and it may do damage to the trans apparently.....as well as give you whiplash.

I've heard it said that firming up the shifts can actually help the ZF last a bit longer when you have heaps of power/torque.

My 1-2 shift is a bit firm for me with just normal driving but 2-3 & 3-4 are supurb. Even though it shifts-grabs the next gear immediately, you just can't feel it...it is so smooth still.

I downloaded a video that Biz did when he fitted the GTX..76 and compared his standard ZF WOT 2-3 change to a video I did when I installed the muffler delete.

Biz looses a bit of kph on the shift as it slips and slides its way into the next gear where as my tuned ZF grabs the next gear (spins the friggen wheels a bit) and the kph just continues to rise.

Again .. I must stress, make sure your tuna knows what he's doing.

Let's see if I can hash tag it properly

Spiro at Autotech tuned my ZF. It's smooth as silk. Can't rate it highly enough.

Same, one of the best mods I have done to the car

I've put together what I would consider a minor tune for my ZF basically have tweaked the shift pressures slightly, adjusted the shift points and adjusted the 2nd to 1st downshift to avoid the annoying random downshifts when exiting round a bouts etc.

I couldn't have the car on the stock zf tune now.
