Common ZF Gearbox Issues

Common ZF Gearbox Issues

Common ZF Gearbox Issues

Like any advanced transmission, ZF gearboxes can develop faults over time. The most common issues we see include:

  • Jerky or delayed gear changes

  • Harsh shifting, especially when cold

  • Loss of drive in one or more gears

  • Slipping under acceleration

  • Transmission overheating

  • Whining, humming, or clunking noises

  • Warning lights or error messages such as “Transmission Fault – Drive Moderately”

  • Common fault codes including P07A5, P0730, P0729, P0741, P0796, P17E8

If you are noticing any of these problems, early diagnostics are essential to prevent further damage. At Gearbox Gurus we use main dealer diagnostic software and specialist repair techniques to quickly identify the fault and provide the most cost-effective solution.

    Had a really great experience with these guys. Ross’s technical knowledge shines through. It turns out the problem was coming from the ABS module and not the gearbox. They wouldn’t accept any payment. Honest mechanics would use again.
