Thread: What would you expect to pay to have a zf rebuilt?

Rebuild $2500 to $3500.
Mine with heavt duty everything cost $4500 in 2004.
Obviously your box has drive still?
Check how quick it engages reverse. If it is smooth and instant then the damage should not be to much.
Also which model D1 or D2.
What you have done is probably burt the friction material in the clutch pack or torque converter. There are also some rubber gromets that break when cooked and bleed the pressure of so the clutch doesn't engage properly.
If you have the vehicle at home still and it does drive drop the oil and check it. Change the filter and fill with fresh oil and then test it again. This will also help clean it out. After that it becomes a pain in the but job.

I'd ask ZF how much for an exchange. They are in Doonside (western Sydney). I went there a couple of weeks ago to drop a Disco in for a gearbox swap.

The quote is for $2500 so not as bad as it could be. I have a D1 TDI. the box went well into reverse but used to clunk. The oil was not as burnt as I have scene boxes.t was dark brown but but did not stink.
Thanks George

Thats a very good price for a re-build, if hes gonna give you warenty for 12 months I would jump on it... doubt if you could get a re-con box for that sort of money Ron..........

Yup 12 month warrantee. Unfortunately we will only be doing low km in the next 12months. I have a leak in the transfere case that I was going to have done by MR in the future that they said they could look at as well. I may as well get it done. Bank has lots of money
