actually everything is the same. the mechanics are the same but more refined. clocks are more sophisticated than any car mechanics. Now there are sophisticated tools to diagnose even the most complicated electronics/mechanics.
How strong is the ZF 6 speed automatic transmission in the Ford Ranger, Jeep Cherokee and Discoverys? Are they reliable enough to tow 3 tonne trailer every day for the life of the vehicle??
houssam elhachimii The SLS uses the 7 Speedshift DCT trans, the F12 uses Getrag trans, the GTR uses a borg warner unit. Only cars I know that use the ZF are the Porsches and M4
If you look at hte 4wd setup from the transmission as it is depicted here, you get a car where the engine&clutch is in front and above the front axle. I don't know if that's desireable from a drivers view...... Better use a longer z axle to put the front axle through the sump or so.... I think that is also the mosty used application, and not this flauwed design.
As it should be , but not in any Ford .The Shelby would benefit from a slick shifting dual clutch or even the Corvette I really don't know why American companies can't build a quality dual clutch tranny like BMW , or this ZF Just buy one then copy it like the Japanese used to do . Actually any of the Automatics in BMW are much better than any North American , it might be just theprogramming of the shift points and different valve bodies , but the last dodge automatic I drove felt lazy and slow
I believe still we know very less about gear and power transmission. I think there are many mechanical and energy loop hole present in this world. I have made cam follower gear. You can find prototype and exact drawing at my youtube channel. It will make you think that there is still lot more we need to know about gear.
The girl sounds like a Japanese computer simulation , nice designed tranny though , maybe Nissan will use it in their super car , but I'd like too see it in a Mustang Shelby or Cobra. even a GT , not those crappy slush boxes they put in at Ford these days .Only the Focus has a dual clutch , but I hear they need to iron out some bugs yet .
BS, it "just" requires the knowledge... You still can fix/modify a lot of things, but obviously you can't expect as easy like the design 50 years ago...
I wonder why you spend the time and money to market your transmission, when you do not even to take the time to return my phone calls regarding using your transmission in US applications.

I work in ZF, partly even on this gearbox software and it's amazing ❤It can shift really fast and it's almost incomprehensible if you're sitting in a car 👍
Whould you know if this ZF 7-spd DCT is a wet or dry transmission?
Wet 🙂@@cafty-me1
It's astonishing how complex and well thought this little box with so many gears is ! ! !
ZF is a German company, they make the best race gearboxes.
Porsche uses exactly this clutch in their stock 911 etc. as PDK.
The background track is "no noise - Chakra noise", but this is an amazing instrumental not available anywhere.
Maximum sportiness and straight amazement XD
i love manual transmissions but this ZF is awesome mechanical thing
Excuse me, but I really really liked that song! Can you please tell me the name of it??
I think It fits perfectly on a BMW m5 e60
Does ZF make the 8-speed PDK in the new Porsche 992?
Why the "car" is driving backwards? (look at the front wheel outputs.)
actually everything is the same. the mechanics are the same but more refined. clocks are more sophisticated than any car mechanics. Now there are sophisticated tools to diagnose even the most complicated electronics/mechanics.
good visual dynamics, however as depicted, it has 7 gears in reverse
How strong is the ZF 6 speed automatic transmission in the Ford Ranger, Jeep Cherokee and Discoverys? Are they reliable enough to tow 3 tonne trailer every day for the life of the vehicle??
but can I mate it to a chevy small block? Torque handling seems over rated given the complexity of the trans.
amazing Engineering
Good Morning, How much cost one of ZF 7DT dual clutch transmission?
It's a automatic manual gearbox. No Torque Converter.
I don't know if they use this one. But they can.
Audi don't have this ZF 7DT transmission...they have S-tronic,made by BorgWarner
SPLENDID!
sounds great accelerating. i though still feel safer in manual shifting. i can't seem to be comfortable for that computer to make decisions.
I bet you the computer feels very much the same about you doing the shifting. Let me off!
the oil pump is in the gearbox?
I'd like to install this Dual Clutch Automatic transmission on a 2013 Ford Raptor
There is a mistake in the assembly model :D check the oil cooler and the pipe join at 5:33 :D
What is the name of the song used in this video?
Which cars use this transmission ?
the R35 Nissan GTR uses this
DevasionX
Anyone else or just the GTR? I'm guessing there will be other cars using this as well
The new M4 uses this trans also, I think.
bmw mercedes SLS A/cla 45 amg ferrari F12 458 FF laferrari nissan GTR ...
houssam elhachimii The SLS uses the 7 Speedshift DCT trans, the F12 uses Getrag trans, the GTR uses a borg warner unit. Only cars I know that use the ZF are the Porsches and M4
This transmission is NOT in the GTR. The GTR had a 6 speed dual clutch, not a 7 smh.
If you look at hte 4wd setup from the transmission as it is depicted here, you get a car where the engine&clutch is in front and above the front axle. I don't know if that's desireable from a drivers view......
Better use a longer z axle to put the front axle through the sump or so....
I think that is also the mosty used application, and not this flauwed design.
Unlike, say, the 944, I think the clutches are at the back, with the gearbox.
This is for the Porsche rear-engined models?
Panamera
I want one in my livingroom.
will it fit in c6 corvette?
As it should be , but not in any Ford .The Shelby would benefit from a slick shifting dual clutch or even the Corvette
I really don't know why American companies can't build a quality dual clutch tranny like BMW , or this ZF Just buy one then copy it like the Japanese used to do .
Actually any of the Automatics in BMW are much better than any North American , it might be just theprogramming of the shift points and different valve bodies , but the last dodge automatic I drove felt lazy and slow
❤❤❤
What is the background music?
I loved it after smoking a bowl
It's sportier like that. ;)
track name?
Amen.
and the maximum torque supported is...?
I believe still we know very less about gear and power transmission. I think there are many mechanical and energy loop hole present in this world. I have made cam follower gear. You can find prototype and exact drawing at my youtube channel. It will make you think that there is still lot more we need to know about gear.
@specialks1953 agree man !
The girl sounds like a Japanese computer simulation , nice designed tranny though , maybe Nissan will use it in their super car , but I'd like too see it in a Mustang Shelby or Cobra. even a GT , not those crappy slush boxes they put in at Ford these days .Only the Focus has a dual clutch , but I hear they need to iron out some bugs yet .
no... but they are all the same (almost)
@specialks1953 say bye bye to those backyard mechanics!!! cars nowadays are sophisticated and complex, ain't worth digging around on engines anymore.
Geek out on this:
perfect video!
❤😅

@razvanciurez 516.29 ft-lbs
For GTR is used this transmission
www.sae.org/automag/technewsletter/080205Tech/04.htm
they even dont know how a engine works, they just know they sounds when they push the throttle and car slows down when they push the brake pedal :)
I wonder why you spend the time and money to market your transmission, when you do not even to take the time to return my phone calls regarding using your transmission in US applications.
If this is the transmission in the GTR, why does Nissan get all the creds for their "amazing dual clutch transmission"?
This transmission is for Porsche. It is the same with PDK
