ZF announced the launch its mechatronic service kit which bundles all the components needed for servicing mechatronics on ZF transmissions.
The kit’s 19 SKU’s cover a range of Audi, Land Rover, BMW, and other manufacturers’ passenger car and SUV models.
In addition to a guide sleeve, seals, and pressure regulators, the kit offers mechatronic dampeners, which absorb the impact of oil pressure variations during gear changes and help the transitions in shifting.
The mechatronic component stores data for diagnostics and signals how much pressure should be applied to a specific clutch and gear. Replacing the unit’s seals, regulators and dampeners can extend the life of the transmission by as much as 60,000 miles.
“The mechatronic is the 'brain' of the transmission, and with this bundled kit, we’re making it easier than ever for vehicle technicians to service it properly, ensuring optimal results that restore the transmission to like-new performance,” said Mark Cali, head of independent aftermarket, USC at ZF Aftermarket.
