ZF tranny 90SP36

[williamcharrison]

The transmission fluid in my sp measures the same level hot or cold.
It also occurred to me that the filter may need changed (I have
owned the coach for 1 year) and it had an engine oil change just before
I took delivery. There are 3 filters located close together under the
engine, can someone tell me what the function of each one is and
possibly a replacement part number?

Yep,

Chuck,

The fluid on the ZF is kinda strange.
Cold is cold, hot is 200 degrees, I take several readings
over a period of time, when hot or cold, It seems the fluid
level changes a bit or hides someplace. Careful not to overfill.


I think, we have the same 300 HP 3208 Cat & ZF trans, your engine
in the rear, FC in the front.

Two Cat oil filters #1R-0714 one fuel filter #1R-0750

ZF Transmission filter #4139298038
I used almost 5 gallons of Transynd synthethic to change,
because of the heat generated by the retarder.

I use Manufacturers' recommended filters, only a Dollar more in
cost. Do not forget the Racor filter.

Thanks Bill, where do you order the filters?

3208 oil & fuel filters available from your local Caterpillar Dealer
Racor fuel filters from West Marine boating stores.
All of these filters are available from NAPA stores, they
will fit and work just fine, I prefer Caterpillar parts.
I like the bright yellow Paint

ZF is a little more difficult try their web sites

http://www.zf.com/defaultz.asp?id=813&lang=1

http://www.zf.com/na/defaultz.asp

These web sites are not user friendly , so keep searching for
a nearby, US dealer or any ZF dealer will ship a filter.
Dextron trans fluid available at any auto parts store or,
Transynd available at Allison trans dealers.
Last year the filter and each gallon was about $35/40 each.
