Hi All...



Mike did a fantastic job telling the ZF story.  Here are the ratios that he

did not have at hand OR memorized!!!! Shame



BTW, these are from "deTomaso, The Man and the Machines"...

(I cheated)!



Gear          Dash/One       Dash/Two



1st               2.42               2.23

2nd              1.47               1.47

3rd               1.09*              1.41

4th               0.958              0.846

5th               0.846              0.705

Rev              2.86                2.87

Final Ratio     4.22:1             4.22:1



* some reports say 1:04



The  ZF Transaxle type  5DS-25-1 carries I.D. # 1031-001-060

or I.D. # 1031-001-061...   This was the unit used with the "Goose"

and the early "Cats", the  Dash-One



The ZF Transaxle type  5DS-25-2 carries I.D. # 1031-002-001, the

Dash-Two.



When changing from a Dash-One to a Dash-Two in a Pantera... the

bell housing must be changed.  The part # is  D16Y 63928





Enjoy....



Counting Down to Vegas!!!





Don M in Miami

'72 Euro pushbutton #1158      Dash-Two ZF (!) probably started out with

Dash-One
