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 (i.e., the driver is required to shift gears) and also has a manually operated clutch to shift between gears.
- 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 use 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.
Differences in gear ratios have a measurable, direct impact on vehicle dynamics, performance, waste emissions as well as fuel mileage.
Cars and light vehicles[edit]
These may be used in motor cars (automobiles), or light commercial vehicles such as car-derived vans.
