ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - ZF transmission for my '93: availability of parts?

mike100 · 07-12-2011

Bill B has a decent collection of core parts and assemblies, but you can still order a good number of internal parts from ZF distributors. If you need one gear and synchro cluster- ok, but if two or three are bad, the parts cost is so high you may as well find another entire transmission.

You may also be able to buy a regular vette gearbox and have the ZR-1 input shaft installed during the refresh. When I had mine done, I ended up with the later style crash-thru shifter rods in my early black label trans. I didn't like the idea of being able to slide into reverse so easily since my lift ring was long gone. A ZF specialist knows all the parts interchange possibilities.
