(although if it was milkshaked ZF's out of the passenger range I'd believe 100 over the years)
I believe the words that were used "the major problem is the oil pump"
These boxes are not made by ZF. Ford have a licence to build them and they are built in china. The next model Falcon will have the same gearboxes as these, except for the v8's and the 6 cyl turbo's will still use the ZF.
