Proroyype ZF transmission.
Pretty quiet here so just for fun.
If you happen to find a ZF with a s/n with 3 digits it may be a prototype. Here is some pictures of mine. It is s/n 210 and has some noticeable differences over those in the 90-95. If you find one let me know, the parts are not completely interchangable. http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...P_trans1_s.jpg http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...P_trans2_s.jpg http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...P_trans3_s.jpg http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...P_trans4_s.jpg http://deliquescence.net/~tyler/prot...P_trans5_s.jpg Tyler

Re: Proroyype ZF transmission.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to get an in-depth write up and lots of pics of your prototype car!
 I wonder what one of these cars would bring at auction? Anyone ever sold one recently?LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

There have been no known sales of any whole pre 1990 cars. 2 86 component cars, 1 88 prototype and 2 pilot cars that had all been crushed were bought from the Graveyard in England. The 2 pilot cars cars were reconstructed, the first in 96 (s/n 14), the bodywork cost 85k, do not know what thedrive train cost probably 20k+. It was sold at least 2 times and is in the midwest with the wrong motor. The correct motor is at SGC. The second pilot car was bought by Mike Yeager for 13k in crushed condition and reconstructed for ??? $$$. Still owned by Mike. The 2 86s were used to reconstruct one car currently owned by Keith B last I heard. The other 88 prototype is being reconstructrd by Geoff Jeal as I type. Its in Mich right now. Tyler

Re: Proroyype ZF transmission.
You never cease to amaze me Tyler. Have you taken a look inside that prototype ZF? I wonder if there are any major internal differences in materials or design. Just a general ? about ZF:
Was the ZR1 the original intended application for the ZF6 and was later adapted to L98/LT1 cars or was it other way around? Originally designed for L98/LT1 and then adapted for ZR1? BTW do you drive that 89 prototype?
