....... I know it is a ZF 8HP transmission but I couldn’t see much on that particular unit on the web (at least not in simpleton language for me). Anyone know how reliable it is?
I think ZF are arguably the best makers of autoboxes on the planet. That's why they are used in so many high performance cars. Just look at the extensive range of applications for the HP6 and HP8 units. The reason you don't see so many posts about problems is because there are so few.
If you are a 'normal' driver, ignore the advice from unqualified armchair mechanics to change the fluid after a high mileage in a 'sealed for life' box. There is a rational argument that you might do more harm than good. Such advice is often perpetrated by those with a vested interest in creating work. The adage 'if it works, don't mend it' is particularly applicable here.
