Plus each application of the ZF can be programmed differently. So the ZF in a Bentley is going to have its own unique shift behavior which isn't the same as when it's in a BMW, etc.
Check this article to see how wide the product range is. |
Agreed I was just conveying mine is a ZF sourced unit (and is the optional sport trans for the 3 series). The same holds true for the 8L90 and 8L45. Same design, different torque capacities. Believe FCA isn't the only one building ZF units under license.
