There is a procedure I use, as do others, that ensures the trans is properly filled. I would love to share everything zf related online but I recently paid $1320 for a zf tuning manual, of which I already knew most of. For this reason I'm not going to share it publicly. Because we're forum buddies I will help you out if you send me your file. To answer your question, having more line pressure wont cause your issues, it will help the trans if anything. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95512-differences-in-barras/page/3/#findComment-1718715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought because I have a external oil cooler the fluid warms up a lot slower and zf doesnt like cold oil?

If you don't the trans won't be happy. With the engine off, fill the trans until it comes out. After that it will want nearly another 4 to 5 litres, while in gear and engine running. That is for stock, it might even want a bit more for the external cooler. Use gulf western syn ts otherwise you may as well chuck anal lube and dx3 in it. Don't use Penrite, it'll make it slip.

Slowxr6t Member 589 Member For: 6y 7m 8d Location: New zealand Posted 20/05/23 09:44 AM Share Posted 20/05/23 09:44 AM Do you have it in gear and running on hoist when you take bung out to get last bit of oil in it? Does oil not spit out hole when its running with bung out?

Puffwagon Gold Donating Members 16,348 Member For: 10y 5m 13d Gender: Not Telling Posted 20/05/23 09:52 AM Share Posted 20/05/23 09:52 AM Yes you have it in gear and running to fill it for the last part. You should have a helper to start it and shift into drive etc while on the hoist, though it isn't critical if you get it done quickly by yourself. With the fill plug out, it'll just leak out the hole like it did when you did the first part of the fill. Nothing crazy will happen, just a slow dribble after a couple of pumps when it's full.

Theres a long block for sale here with some bolt on parts for a good deal. It must be stronger than toothpick rods ba motors surely? Cheers guys @Puffwagonand @k31th and any other gurus out there.
