ZF Transmission - ZF 12 M - Free to good home...

I have the ZF (Hurth) transmission that was removed from the Perkins 4-108 in my Morgan 383. Replaced it with a new transmission.

The transmission was working when removed. Reverse was working properly. Forward worked just fine but occasionally, and unpredictabily, would not shift from neutral to forward. Sometimes required 3 or 4 tries before it finally caught. Then ran fine.

The lables have long since fallen off but:

Ratio is believed to be A = 2.14 B = 1.95 (at least that's the ratio we replaced it with).

The ZF 12 was a drop in replacemnt so the case is a ZF 12 dimensions.

Working when removed so may be a replacement for you if yours is not working. Expect it is worth rebuilding.

Located in Bradenton, Fl. (South of Tampa Bay)
