Does anyone know if this is common???
Any help would be appreciated as I’ve been quoted $8500 for repairs!!!
Replacing/rebuilding a ZF is not cheap, plus you have to replace the transmission heat exchanger.

Try a couple of local transmission places for quotes.

Search on user BF11GhiaZF6 - he's researched these transmissions extensively.

PS - IIRC there was a recall on V8s.
