Zf 6 Speed Auto Not Changing From 3Rd T 4Th

[rednose]

I was doing 80kmh

Sorry dude, read the 100k zone, yeah it probably should have dropped to 2nd.

You have 2 options, flush it with Gulf Western (cause its cheap) or just get it built before your next track day.

lol me too

I only drive in manual mode now as I dont want any violent kickdowns that may cause snappage of the input shaft.

Is there something done in the tune to prevent this happening, or kickdown switch disconnected?

As I'm pretty sure in mine, if in manual at say 100kmh, if I put it all the way to the floor it'll still drop back to 3rd still.

[rednose]

Yeah mine will too but I normally put it in the gear I want and then feed it, when I am in a spirited driving mood I usually keep it in the meat of the torque range so no need for it to drop a gear.

It is programmed to drop down regardless of mode if you plant the foot, as it could be an emergency situation. Manual mode included!

I love the drop to second at 80km/h (manual mode)...tops out about 110 I think from memory but shift at 100 to 3rd for me.

Where do you blokes get your ZF serviced or rebuilt? Need some options for both.

I have had mine serviced with ZF oil/filter here in Sydney.

C.A.T.S., but they are pricey for a rebuild.

Lots of rebuild level options at Crescent Motorsport too.

Got my report back on the oil that came out of my box prior to it being built. Mind you the oil had only been in there for not even 6 months. Scary stuff! I'm using mainlube oil now in the box and I think for motor and diff soon as well.

very interesting...right at the end is it saything that more magnets then the ones already in the pan should be added?

[rednose]

No need to add magnets inside, this will do the trick.
