Shipping from Germany has got to be a lot cheaper than shipping from the US.

This certainly would be my first move!

The transmission was also used in the Lotus/Vauxall Carlton. They're very passionate owners. I've sourced a few parts from from a Vauxhall dealer in the UK. I actually contacted a Carlton owner in the UK and was directed to a possible dealer who could help. You might just "Google" for a Carlton owners group and start there. That was my approach. My first contact helped.

I've a ZR-1 "blue label" service transmission here that I'd likely consider a sale of. I work in the Metro Washington DC area and there a many freight forwarders in the area.

I believe there are likley service shops in the Netherlands that could actually help you with the repair/rebuild and your issue would only be parts availability. You might check for truck repair facilities that do ZF transmission repairs/rebuild in your area. I believe you'll find some.

Good luck!
