RICFORD Member 84 Member For: 15y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 12/10/11 06:36 AM Posted 12/10/11 06:36 AM Just an update on my car after having the zf serviced 5 weeks ago with transmax z. When cold the shifts feel a little erractic, especially 3-4, feels like the torque converter is locking unlocking between shifts. Once warmed up, it feels fine but don't know if this is doing the auto harm.

Let us know how you go.

Plus I got a hold of a proper steel pan kit from ze germans.With a lot of different oils being put through these boxes I just wanted to see if this stuff was another option. If it goes good then I will say so, if it's like that sh!t we flushed after 500k's then I'll say so. If it's sh*t then it's only cost me a few hundred and everyone else wins, just like when I posted up which penrite stuff not to use. If it's good then we all have another option.So far I haven't got above 60k's in it but it feels fine, I will try to do a few WOT 3rd to 4th changes this weekend to compare the slip with the Transmax.
