[DeTomaso] ZF transmissions - industry use clarification

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Last time I was in my local Transtar office to pick transmission parts 
for the turbo 400 in the Jeep plow truck, I noticed a large ZF banner 
hanging in the warehouse.  Same logo, must be the same company.  Parts 
now available through Transtar.  However, I don't know if you can buy 
parts for the trans used in a Pantera from them.  I have no need to ask 
just yet.  (and hope I don't for a long while)
