List of ZF transmissions

This list of ZF transmissions details those automotive transmissions created by the German ZF Friedrichshafen AG engineering company.

There are two fundamental types of motor vehicle transmission:

• Manual — the driver has to perform each gear change
• Automatic — once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load automatically.

Furthermore, they may also be manufactured solely as a gearbox, and utilise an entirely separate final drive unit (including its differential) – or be supplied as a transaxle, which includes both the gearbox and final drive unit within one housing.

This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Cars and light vehicles

These may be used in motor cars (automobiles), or light commercial vehicles such as car-derived vans.
