List of ZF transmissions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of ZF transmissions details those automotive transmissions created by the German ZF Friedrichshafen AG engineering company.

There are two fundamental types of motor vehicle transmission:

  • Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change (i.e., the driver is required to shift gears) and also has a manually operated clutch to shift between gears.
  • Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load automatically.

Furthermore, they may also be manufactured solely as a gearbox, and use an entirely separate final drive unit (including its differential) – or be supplied as a transaxle, which includes both the gearbox and final drive unit within one housing.

Differences in gear ratios have a measurable, direct impact on vehicle dynamics, performance, waste emissions as well as fuel mileage.

Cars and light vehicles[edit]

These may be used in motor cars (automobiles), or light commercial vehicles such as car-derived vans.
