Reply to "Used ZF found"

The only thing you will see by pulling the bottom cover is the ring and pinion gear. However it is important to do that inspection. Check carefully for damage and/or pitting. If the gears look good I think the market value of the ZF would be around $3,500.00 to $5000 However if you see damage and/or pitting the rebuild bill adds up fast. I had to buy a used ring gear for my ZF rebuild and it cost me $1,600 just for the gear.

Looks like you have the basics down as far as inspection. If the ZF checks out ok and you buy it plan on spending $2,000.00 to 3,000.00 on the rebuild and safety wiring of the ring bolts if there are no other major problems once the ZF is disassembled.

On a side note I know a few people that have spare ZF transaxles and none have needed them. They are a really reliable transaxle if maintained. The used prices are high because of all the kit car guys buying them up.
