ZF Tranny Help

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

---Dave:
Try to ensure they do not spend too much time on LABOR trying to
FIND the problem...........I had transmission problems with my FC in
Texas and it cost me $2100 in LABOR all together AND they still had
to replace the transmission..an ALLISON 643.....my ZF is still
working fine on my 90SP36...
good luck!!
