ZF service shop?? south east?

I sent mine to collectors Choice in WI. They do excellent work but it was costly. I would send it to Hall or one of the excellent pantera vendors. They really know what they are doing.

Call Marino at Pantera East and see if he has an idea.

I guess this means you found the whine?

Well, I think it's the ring/pinion.. of course, the worst case... So, I figure I better start getting an engine/transaxle/clutch budget together... I just talked to Les Grey out in AZ I think??.. and the outlook is bleek. Ring and pinion whine is the worst possible news for poor white trash like me... I'm still gathering intel though, and I hope it lasts another year. I did not get a response from RBT, I will of course talk to them in the next few days...

Pantera Performance in Castle Rock, CO. They do excellent work and are very helpful.

Possibly envy that I don't have legions of customers who'll willingly endure any version of timeliness 'til I get to it. Harumph. I should be so lucky.

I spoke to Dennis last weekend as he is putting my GT5 ZF back together to ship out to me this week. He was working all weekend and told me he has 20 something ZF's in at the moment.

The GT40 Superformance ZF demand is huge and all the Pantera vendors are basically ZF turnaround shops at present.

Yes, I just talked to Dennis this afternoon. Very nice, very helpful.. He spent quite a bit of time w/me on various Pantera subjects. He brought me up to speed on a few things and really settled me down on this ZF, I feel much better. I can relax and enjoy the car now...

Did Dennis find anything that may of indicated why your trans was having shifting problems?

Mark,

Dennis said he made a few adjustments inside, but was most concerned about the polished input shaft with a lot of bronze on it. He thinks it was binding and still rotating hence causing hard shifting. Dennis doesn't like the bronze bushings and recommends switching back to a needle bearing.

Dennis told me that on a high milage car like mine (77K)it's not uncommon to hear the transaxle, it may be that the ring and pinion have settled in and warn together in such a way that causes the whine. Of course it does need to be rebuilt eventually but since there in no metal in the fluid, I should'nt really worry about it. He seemed to think failure was not imminent.

news flash! Hello Everyone,

FYI for RBT...
I spoke to Lloyd last week and he wanted everyone to know
that he is on top of the previous backlog on ZF service and building...
and he is delivering units to current customers.

Also..he is fully engaged on taking in new service work for Pantera customers.

There seemed to be some concern that the Superformance & Foose projects...
would interfere with the Pantera service...but those two projects are being
handled out of the Texas production facility...so no worries there.

That's all from me today...
and I'll go back to m

A lot of ZFs whine and a number of owners have spent big bucks to get rid of it with little success.

Mike

Yeah, I'm gonna' let it ride for now. Dennis really made me feel alot better about it and now w/your added perspective (Mike) I figure I can just go on w/the other planned improvments...
