List of ZF transmissions

• Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change using a manually operated clutch
• Automatic – once placed in drive, it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load

• In the longitudinal direction, the gearbox is usually designed separately from the final drive. The transaxle configuration combines the gearbox and final drive in one housing and is only built in individual cases
• In the transverse direction, the gearbox and final drive are very often combined in one housing due to the much more restricted space available
