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
