The ZF is a great box. I had one on my 4.6 powered '86 RR.

its an auto.....

oh alright...

assuming that its the ZF as originally fitted heavy industry, germans and the military use them for a reason...

keep it oiled properly, fix the leaks when the turn up and dont toast it, in theory it should out last you.

good box, that take a caning. Just keep it as cool as you can, the only thing that really seems to kills them is overheating. Oh, and the failed double cardon shaft off a disco 2.................................
