There is one caveat, the scan alone can’t indicate the health of the planets and bearings. If the numbers are good, then the customer will feel more comfortable spending the money to get the fluid and filter done to maintain the transmissions health. You could also let them know if their transmission was on the brink and then work on the next steps that would be best for them. You could take this information, and either reassure the customer that they had a healthy transmission and then recommend a fluid and filter change. While he stated that the pressure was more important than time. You learned from the ZF presenter that the fill time needed to be between -120 and 120 milliseconds to be healthy. In 2019 he updated that to -300 to 300 mBar as a healthier number. You learned from the ZF presenter that the fill pressure needed to be between -350 and 350 mBar to be fully functional. The Fast fill values are not as sensitive if the fill counter number is met. If not, then the history has been cleared too recently and you do not have enough data since then to get a reliable counter value.

These figures are If you were at the ATRA seminar in 2017 you learned that the fill counter needed to be above 14 to give you a good indicator of the clutch pack health. An example of the readout from a 2014 Dodge 1500 Truck with 160,000 miles is shown in figure 1. So, for the cost to scan of the transmission we can give the customer the numbers in all the clutch packs. With good standard deviation numbers, we can reassure the customer of the transmission’s health.

Using these figures you can examine the deviation from the standard value (what it should be) and get an idea of the condition of the transmissions.

The Filling Time is measured in milliseconds (0.001 second).

It’s measured in millibars so you’ll have to do a little math.

The Filling Pressure calculates the filling pressure.

The Filling counter is indicating the number of filling pressure events that have taken place.

The Fast Filling counter records the number of filling-time events that have taken place.

What the scanner is telling us is as follows: Each clutch has four numbers associated with it. Your scanner can check the health of the five clutch packs in the transmission. You can pull the plug and look at the fluid, but the fluid is $25 dollars a quart to replace. What can we do to reassure the customer that they are not wasting their money? The traditional way of dropping the pan to evaluate the fluid is very expensive. Now they know you’re not taking advantage of them. To this end you can show them the dealer cost on the pan/filter and oil, a cost of over $350 dollars. The customer must be reassured that you are not pocketing three times the money. This is also the interval that ZF themselves recommend. In most, if not all other vehicles that have the 8 speed ZF transmission, the manufacturer recommends a transmission fluid and filter change at 70,000 to 80,000 miles. If the customer is coming to you, the vehicle is probably over its 100,000-mile warrantee. The first problem is relatively easy to fix.

You must tell the customer that the Fluid and Filter Change on their vehicle will cost them 3 to 5 times what it did on their last vehicle.The dealer says that the transmission fluid and filter last the life of the vehicle.Especially when we’re talking about the ZF 8-Speed. The issue of helping the customer understand that their vehicle’s transmission needs servicing is something different. Changing transmission fluid after the vehicle is out of warranty is important for the life of the transmission.
