Default First time here in awhile

Just wanted to say that I will be posting over here from now on. I am done with brand "X"

Now back on topic. Does anyone have any info on GM remanufactured ZF6 tranny's. My car has one in it (got it when I bought the car). Do they do a good job rebuilding them. My 415 is almost done and was just wanting opinions on the quality of their rebuilds

Welcome to CAC.

Although I too have a 90 six speed not a ZR1) , I don't have any info for you on the rebuild stuff. We have a few ZR1 folks here that might be able to help you out there.

There is a great site that gives tons of details about the ZF, and contacts for rebuilding. I will have to search through my archives and try to locate that for you.

Joel,

Welcome back. Out of curiosity, have you talked to Bill Boudreau who owns a company that specializes in rebuilding the ZF? I'm curious what his take would be on your questions. Give him a shout as he might be able to shed some light. His web site is here: http://www.zfdoc.com/

Ah, you beat me to it Rob. That is exactly the link I was hunting down.

There is a ton of great information at that site.

Yup, Bill's site is linked in our Portal (tab at the top of this page) under: Parts and Accessories >> Clutch and Transmission.

Thanks. Yes I did talk to Bill but that was before I knew they were remanufacered GM units. I knew the tranny was rebuilt and I called Bill to see if he did the rebuild and what the problem was. I then called Aaron Scott to get the S/N of the unit and that is when he told me it was a GM remanufactured unit. I wonder if Bill does those for GM? I will email him and ask. Thanks for the links guys.

Joel,
Maybe I missed it on the "other" site, but are you going to spray your 415?

The plan is that I will not initially but you never know what I will do after I lose the first time.

vettel83, thanks for the welcome and you knwo their will be a lot of killing stories coming real soon. Wouldn't you know it, the other forumshuts down the very section that I was planning to start posting some kills again. My luck I guess. As it has worked out I think i like this Forum better. It is in the same format as the old Corvette Forum and I liked it.

Seems to be a good gathering hole. I got tired of the other one. Nice to see after a few months everyone finds a place to hang out again.
