Every European car I've ever owned has had a ZF transmission.


And all Zf transmissions had a major design fault up until the current 8 Speed. Now they are pretty good. Not only European cars use them, many Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram cars have ZF 8 speeds in them.

Any reference or hint? Google brings up nothing obvious.


Not sure if parent comment had this one in mind, but look up "ZF reverse only" and "no drive after revving engine briefly in Park".


These terms work for any manufacturer I use.

I suspect “all” was exaggeration.
