ZF 8HP Fluid flush information
Hi all, I am in the process of scheduling an appointment to flush the transmission oil. the transmission has been acting up more and more often now, with shift quality continually worsening which leads me to believe the oil flush has been long overdue. i am currently at 110,000km, or 67,000 miles which i was told isnt very long. Anyone experienced a similar issue? could it be something else? (which i doubt, because the transmission operates perfectly fine at times) I would like to gather as much information i can about this oil change and ensure that this is what my car needs.. thanks all

Don't flush it, just do a drain + fill. Use the OEM ZF fluid (or quality equivalent) that's appropriate for your application. You should replace the filter as well.
It's hard to say whether fresh fluid would help, but there's only one way to find out. At the very least, it eliminates the simplest and cheapest solution. |

Transmission Oil Pan And Filter
This is my 1st AT in a long time. I am pretty sure that you order the oil pan and it comes with an integral filter for around $130.00.
. ZF recommends a change at 62k . I think I will just go with 50k changes. . Temp controlled installation with a level vehicle is the key + torque sequence. . . Cheers |

Here is the ZF fluid, reasonably priced IMO: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/..._pg1.htm#item0 |
