Reply to "ZF Trans"

To put a positive spin on this situation, if you pull BOTH the engine and ZF together, it gives you the opportunity to do some preventive maintenence during the bad-weather time:
1)- pull the gas tank & check behind it for evidence of rust starting in arguably the most difficult place on the car to fix. The chassis braces & quarter panel are often involved, and the OEM gas tank was installed unpainted, so it also has been known to rust through.
2)- cut out & replace the welded-in e-brake bracket & the crossmember under the engine's oil pan. Removeable versions were optional after '75. Then the oil pan can be removed without pulling the engine.
3)- before sending the ZF away, check your fluid level via the fill plug under the shifter box on the side, and safety-wire the ring gear (RBTTRANS will do this on request)
