Vallidium Member 26 Member For: 10y 6m 20d Gender: Male Posted 16/09/15 03:42 AM Share Posted 16/09/15 03:42 AM Hi all, had a quick look but couldn't find what I was after, has anyone done a tutorial or one of the awesome photo essay threads like Phil does on the removal and replacement of the zf gearbox ? I want to have a go myself but obviously this would make life a lot easier for me especially as I'll be doing it without a hoist ! Any help/advice is appreciated !

Keep it nose up so the Torque Convertor stays in place in the trans.ZF6hp Workshop manual attached. The last section covers trans removal.307-01bZF 6HP26.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
