[DeTomaso] Tech Session and ZF question

[peter-kovacs at sbcglobal.net]

Since there is no pan to remove like with an automatic transmission, is there an access point that would allow me to check for this without splitting the case?

Maybe something on the bottom of the case that sometimes rolls underneath
one of the sprockets that are fixed to the output shaft (which sits lowest
of the shafts).

... another "feels like it could be" picking up a nut/debris which gets
bound between the reverse gears and gets spit out when I go forward. Is this
also possble with the lay out of the ZF?

The only way I can think of to do what you describe is somehow selecting two
gears at once, internally. There is a shift linkage setscrew inside the
transmission that does occasionally come loose. It's accessible behind the
small
steel plate on the opposite side of the case from the shift box, and ZF says
to
not only tighten it but lock it with red Lock-tite. Also, the linkage inside
the
shift box can loosen, too. Those links are accessible (sort of) thru a
rubber
plug on the backside of the box, and inside the box with the cover off. If
you
fail to find anything, call Lloyd for real expert advice. As you say, if
that
happened at speed, it is possible to really damage the transaxle. Let us
know
what you find- Good luck -J Deryke
