zf meritor transmission codes.

I rebuild meritor eaton mack and spicer at a well known transmission shop and I have only heard of these and never seen one. We have some parts for one in the warehouse and that is the only reason I knew that an auto shift meritor existed. But I did find some info on these codes, 39 indicates a shift lever communication error to the tcu, check harness and connections between these two components. E7 is a j1939 data link communication error to the tcu, check for damaged wires and connections in the data link harness from the tcu to the engine ecm.

 

Yeah the clutch slipping is not something to let go. Get it checked out immediately and you will save yourself a lot of money if all it need is a proper adjustment. And when you get that done have them fix the leak

 

I had a ZF transmission that I just swapped out for a manual 13 sp. Very hard to find anyone to work on them.The clutch as far as I remember cannot be "adjusted" they are self adjusting.More than likely you need a new clutch.Looking at $1800 just for the clutch throwout bearing another $1300.If you don't already have it heres a few links that can give you a little info.

The one we've been discussing is a different one it's actually a rockwell/meritor design. The actual zf designed transmission are expensive and more expensive to work on. The ones in newer freightliners you can't even get parts for.. they are called the ZF freedom line and are automated manuals that are fully synchronized. They are the opittomy of unamerican.

 

Yeah I had a ZF freedomline 12 spd in my 2007 KW T600 and yes very expensive.I was quoted $22k to replace as even meritor didn't know where I could get parts for a rebuild .Thats why I just had a manual installed much much cheaper and easier to repair if need be.

 

I have the same transmission in my t600. Nothing but problems it is now stationary at my brother's farm. Can you point me in the right direction for a swap out to a manual? What kind of cost did you incurr?

 

Dakota i have one freedomline on my 06 columbia how much to swapping for a 13?
