ZF 8HP Transmission Diagnostics and Overhaul
with Brian Bay

LOCATION: Houston TX, Address To Be Determined
TIME: 8:00AM - 5:00PM
***Attendees may not be accepted if course reaches capacity. Refunds will be issued for courses that are canceled due to low enrollment. (Travel reimbursements are excluded)
As more and more vehicle manufacturers choose ZF for their transmissions, shops can benefit and even potentially add simple services to their offerings by understanding the basics of the ZF 8HP transmission and how to diagnose common problems encountered in the repair shop and complaints from customers. This in-depth class will take a deep dive into the function of the ZF 8HP transmission, and the best overhaul practices. The class will feature a classroom session, then participants will have the opportunity to practice what they have learned on a ZF 8HP transmission under the supervision of a ZF technical trainer. After completing this training, the participant will be able to:
• List internal components
• Explain the torque flow through the gears • Describe the shift strategy
• Identify common failures • Explain the oil change procedure
• Explain how to properly check the oil level
• Identify the differences between pressure regulators and solenoids
• Analyze transmission adaptation values and relearn procedures
• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the transmission
• Identify special tools needed for the disassembly and assembly process
ZF 9HP Diagnostics and Overhaul
with Brian Bay

LOCATION: 14250 Myford Rd, Irvine, CA 92606
TIME: 8:00AM - 5:00PM
***Attendees may not be accepted if course reaches capacity. Refunds will be issued for courses that are canceled due to low enrollment. (Travel reimbursements are excluded)
As engineers have sought to make front wheel drive transaxles more efficient, they have used new concepts to help them reach the goals that have been set for more efficient drivelines and more forward gears. During this training, participants will first take a detailed look at the ZF 9HP to gain an understanding for how it is designed, and then take a deep dive into diagnostics. Participants will leave this training able to more effectively diagnose and repair ZF 9HP transaxles.
After completing this training, the participant will be able to:
• List internal components of the 9HP transmission
• Identify the torque flow of all gears
• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids
• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators
• Differentiate between valve body types
• Explain the shifting strategy of the ZF 9HP
• Analyze transmission adaptation values and quick learn procedure
• Explain an oil change service procedure for different manufacturers
• Explain how to properly check the oil in the transmission
• Describe the common failures of the ZF 9HP
• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the transmission
• Identify special tools needed for disassembly and assembly of the unit
