TomT Spooling Member Donating Members 961 Member For: 13y 22d Gender: Male Location: Blue Mountains, NSW Posted 07/04/15 01:12 AM Share Posted 07/04/15 01:12 AM Yeah the CMS website is a bit out of date with their ZF build page. They can now offer exedy clutches and billet input shaft. Give Joe a ring and he'll talk you through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 7m 1d Posted 16/06/15 11:57 AM Share Posted 16/06/15 11:57 AM Now what I really have been wondering, Automatic boxes are very complicated machines, I have pulled many apart.So I'd be very careful over who I let rebuild the box unless they have every single factory spec like clearances etc that ratter mentionedI just don't see how every single workshop can be offering ZF Rebuilds themselves, I would only have an Auto trans shop do it.
