    Never heard of any particular problems with them. They seem to work pretty well and be reasonably strong.

    The ZF 4 speed is a nice unit. As said, no real issues with them.

    The ZF is a very neat tranny and is used in many other cars. It's not an issue...

    Auto box probs

    Well I hate to say it but my auto box on my 94 disco
    needs replacing.

    Lost a lot of oil from rear seal/ into trans box before
    noticing leak, yes was full before going on trip,(90km)
    now have to make up my mind to either replace box or
    get rid of it.

    seashells.

    I beg to differ... They are automatic gearboxes... that in itself is an issue.....

    Thats just a personal thing tho... bloody grey boxes of evil...

    but on a semi serious note IMHO so far the ZF 4 speed is the pick of the bunch, Just dont force it up hills with a full load on board in top cog. (that means a trailer more than a vehicle full of people)

    As long as your kickdown cable stays well adjusted and doesnt break and cause a loss in line pressure then they last fine.

    I have noticed on here that more people seem to have problems with their manual boxes but even with that said, it is a crap load cheaper to repair a manual box than the auto.

    I have punished mine from time to time and the only problem has been the kick down cable which has caused a couple of clutch problems as well as the sprag slips when it's hot but it has nearly done 300,000kms which is a pretty good lifespan for any driveline componant.
