Crossmember for ZF 6 speed - Lateral-g Forums

Musclerodz · #1 11-29-2004, 10:10 AM

Anybody know if there is an aftermarket crossmember for a ZF in a 68 Camaro? I think all the ones Steilow put in were cut up TH400 members. I just picked up a ZF 6 speed off ebay, Hopefully a good deal ($800). I read somewhere they were a stronger unit than the T56. Any opinions on the ZF tranny? Thanks.

Don't know how this ended up in Projects, should have been in the Tech area. Scott, if you want to move it go ahead.

Awesome trans, but impossible and extremely expensive to get parts for. Stronger than a standard T56, but a modded T56 is stronger still. Shifts like butter.

I do not know where to get a crossmember for that other than fabbing your own; I do not believe it's the same as a T56 crossmember.

I have found a couple of places to get parts, and no they are not cheap. I figured I would have to make one but I thought I would ask first. I remember reading that Steilow used ZF's in several of his earlier cars. I think he cut up a TH400 crossmember, but I would build from scratch first.

I think it is easier to get parts for them over here. ZF is a major gearbox manufacturer for the European automotive industry.

If you want to I can try to find some sources here.
