dirtydiesel Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Does anyone on here know anything about the ZF S-4 18/3 gearbox. Hears what i know: It's awfully short 15" end to end. Has a crawler first (5.3 : 1) Looks to be very strong inside. But i carn't seem to find a damned thing about it, i believe it is a very close derivitive of the ZF S-5 that milners punt out as a heavy duty race box. Here's what i don't know (but would like to) What sort of power it can take. Where i can get a bellhousing (i've 2 boxes but no bellhousings with them) Any known faults. Thanks in advance.

dollythelw Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I hope you took that close up - it looks about 10feet tall in that pic methinks its guts look like THIS 'cept this is the 4wd variant, the 2wd one you've got I suspect is early '90's Porsche (968 pre-tiptronic?)

dollythelw Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 not enough sleep - too busy turning bosses up for someone... that and playing hunt the bizarre V8 fault.... grrrrrrrrr the S4/12 was a close ratio box for lotus racers in the 60's MORE USELESS STUFF HERE the S4/14 3 was used in BV202's and the C303 - yours isnt a 303 version though hahaha I knew eventually you would come over the Swedish side the sit happily behind SBCs and take a pasting, the Volvo T case will hook up behind it if you get the other tailshaft kin norvern mankeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
