Zf 8 speed transmission12/11/2023 I built a controller using an online board manufacturer (maybe $75 total invested). I had adapter plate made from an online machine shop and I'm now using tci flexplate and stock ls starter. Īnyway I'm putting it all back together now so I can take pics, I'll post over the next few days. I never even tried a trans brake before, drag racing isn't my thing. After 3 tries at the texas mile and blowing up 2 ls motors I finally killed this poor transmission although it really wasn't it's fault, I programmed a trans brake into it and the ls with turbo blew through it and torched a clutch. Since then I put in a 5.3 ls with big turbo (of course). I initially installed it in my 67 chevelle behind a 30ish hp sbc. This 8 spd kills them allĪgain, I'm only posting to help others interested in doing this, it took me a lot of searching to find the info so I'd be happy to help anyone save some time do this.Īnyway, ive been running the same trans for about three years now, I bought a used one out of a 2014 ram truck with the hemi. There's probably better trannys to use but I've tried 2sp, 3sp,4sp od, and a t56. It's basically the same as the hellcat tranny, I shift in under 200 ms and it barks the tires in every gear. I actually only lock up the converter after 8th so it feels like a 9 speed. I'll be adding auto mode someday however manual mode is really what I was after, I am currently manually shifting using two buttons, shift up and shift down. Other than that I used an ati adapter plate and 153 tooth gm flex plate to mate it up. It's really not too bad, I decided to rip the existing controller out of the tranny and used an external one. I'm posting this only to offer anyone interested in doing this any help / advice based on what I did to make it work. I just finished swapping a 8 speed auto from a dodge ram into my 67 chevelle.
