Disadvantages of the ZF 8HP95 gearbox
- This reliable and durable gearbox has to work with very powerful engines.
- During aggressive driving, the solenoids will quickly become clogged with friction wear products.
- Worn clutches cause vibrations and break the oil pump bearing.
- Frequent acceleration can cause aluminum parts in the mechanical part of the automatic transmission to burst.
- The weak point of all gearboxes in this series are rubber gaskets and bushings.
