Why Servicing the ZF Automatic Transmission Matters

Despite some manufacturers claiming these gearboxes are “sealed for life”, ZF Friedrichshafen AG (the gearbox manufacturer) recommends fluid and filter replacement every 60,000 miles or 6 years.


Fresh fluid protects the clutch packs, solenoids, and torque converter from overheating and wear.

Neglecting this service can cause:

  • Harsh or delayed gear shifts

  • Transmission slip or judder under load

  • Burnt or contaminated fluid

  • Solenoid Failure

  • Expensive mechatronic or clutch pack failure

Regular servicing ensures consistent performance, smooth gear changes, and a longer gearbox life.

What’s Included in a JCR ZF Transmission Service

  • Genuine ZF Lifeguard fluid (correct spec for your gearbox)

  • OEM filter & sump pan assembly

  • New gasket and bolts

  • Drain and refill procedure using ZF trained technicians

  • Adaptation reset and gearbox relearn (if required)

  • Full diagnostic health check & road test
