hey guys in the c4 threads!
normally im over at the c3 threads lurking, but i have a few questions about the ZF s6-40's. First off let me tell you my intentions. I intend to install this trans in either the 77 vette, or a 70-73 camaro we are purchasing (gotta have a manual :devil: ). i would like this to be a cheaper alternative swap compared to the t56/t-5 swap kits, im roughly pricing out the swap right now and it seems to be. As i understand the bolt pattern on the bellhousing works for a first gen small block, making it an easy swap. ive been looking at a few websites including the forums on here, and couldnt find what im looking for, although http://www.zfdoc.com/ is a great help. Im not afraid of having to tear apart the trans tunnel or whatever to get it to fit, thats not my issue. I would like to get to know the trans a little better, seeing that you guys have it in your cars stock could you tell me a few things about it:
- is the clutch a hydrolic or mechanical?
-what are its weakensses?
-what (if anything) has broken?
-if broken, why, how many miles on it?
any background knowledge or other input/oppinions would be appriciated, thank you!
