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)

Building transmissions and gear drive systems is at the heart of what ZF does, and throughout its history, ZF has been at the forefront of pushing transmission technology forward. With these technological and engineering advancements, staying up to date on the latest diagnostic and overhaul procedures is critical.

During this training, participants can expect to learn procedures that will aid them with not only understanding how ZF 6HP and 8HP transmissions operate, but with diagnosing and repairing these transmissions in a real-world environment. Additionally, this training gives participants the chance to apply the knowledge that they have gained in the classroom setting to a ZF transmission, under the guidance of a ZF Technical Trainer.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to:

• List internal components of the 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids

• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators

• Differentiate between mechatronic types

• Explain the shifting strategy of the ZF 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Explain an oil change service procedure

• Analyze transmission adaptation values

• Explain adaptation values to assist in the diagnostic procedure

• Identify the most common failures of the ZF 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Identify the torque flow of all gears

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the 6HP and 8HP transmissions

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of ZF mechatronics

When it was originally released, the ZF 6HP marked the next generation of transmission technology and was a major step ahead in transmission design and engineering over previous transmissions.  As transmission technology continues to evolve, as it did in the case of the ZF 6HP, the diagnostic process must also evolve. During this in-depth training, diagnostic procedures will be covered that will take the guesswork out of the diagnostic and repair process and will add valuable skills that translate well to repair facilities. During this in-depth hands on training the participant will completely disassembled and assemble a ZF 6HP transmission.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to:

• List internal components of the 6HP transmission       
• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids       
• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators       
• Differentiate between mechatronic types       
• Explain the shifting strategy of the ZF 6HP       
• Explain an oil change service procedure       
• Analyze transmission adaptation values       
• Use adaptation values to assist in the diagnostic procedure         List internal components of the 6HP transmission        
• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids        
• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators         Explain proper disassembly/Assembly process        
• Explain common internal failures        
• Analyze common internal fail

The ZF 8HP has proven itself, for more than a decade, that it is among the best transmissions ever produced. The first models of the 8HP, and subsequent models, have all pushed the limits of transmission efficiency. As ZF continues to improve the 8HP, adding a Plug-In Hybrid version of the transmission was the next logical step. Become familiar with the latest technology as we cover hybrid transmission basics, torque flow, basic high voltage concepts and a hands-on disassembly of the 8P75H transmission and mechatronic.

 After completing this training, the participant will be able to: 

• Describe the different levels of hybrid technology
• Identify the types of ZF hybrid transmissions
• Define the classification of a high voltage system
• Identify the internal safety features of hybrid systems
• Explain how to verify zero potential of a high voltage system
• Describe procedure to disconnect high voltage systems on BMW and Audi
• Identify the characteristics of 2 speed electric motors
• Explain how to disassemble a ZF 8P75 transmission
• Describe the disassembly process of the 875H mechatronic
• Identify updates within the latest ZF transmissions
• Explain common failures of the units
• Describe common diagnostics of the ZF hybrid units
