[QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1498984, member: 29749"] Parts are readily available for these transmissions. ALL of the rebuild shops have access to parts as easily as I do- I was able to get them and I'm not a rebuild shop. A 7.3 input shaft is $99. A 6.0 is $129. Simply put, there's no excuse to do shoddy rebuild work on a ZF6. If I personally received a rebuilt with a sleeve installed- that fact right there would make me question 'what did they do inside?" [B]I'd promptly return their transmission demanding a refund. [/B] As a matter of fact, I was going to buy a rebuilt and install it because I knew the daunting task of a ZF rebuild. But I chose to 'roll my own'. After hearing all this, I'm glad I did. I cannot tell you how freaking angry I would have been if one arrived and it had a sleeve installed instead of a new input shaft. :biggun::wtf::cursing: Reputable trans shops DO NOT DO THAT. I don't care what they're rebuilding, ZF's, Toploaders, etc. For example: David Kees out of Texas, probably the Top Dog in the country for Ford Toploaders doesn't do that. These shops that do that sleeve crap on rebuilds are taking advantage of those who don't know any different. Since I literally rebuilt my ZF6, I know first hand what it takes to swap an input shaft. Let me assure you, if it's torn down, it's NOTHING, NADA to do so. It would really make me wonder if they did an 'Okie Rebuild' Okie Rebuild: entails a trip to the wash house to shoot the grease and dirt off and a rattle can of paint. Lipstick on a pig mean anything to you? Maybe they just changed synchros and called it 'good'. That too is B.S. Maybe one of you can write them and ask 'Why you are using a sleeve on the input shaft?" The answer would be most interesting. Bottom line; I suspect someone is getting cheated here because they don't know any different. At $1600 to $2500, one has to ask, just what did they do? If I had the money, I'd order one from each rebuild shop and tear each one down to inspect exactly what they did. That's really the only way of getting to the truth. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
