Automatic transmission ZF or OEM FORD

The gearbox is amazing when pushing.

At a crawl and slower paces, it can be slightly jumpy and "kangarooish" as I've heard some people describe the BMW gearbox (ZF)

Besides that, it's spectacular

The ZF8 is not bad at all. IMO it's probably one of the best automatics you can have for a sports car. No complexity of a dual clutch, smooth shifting in all cases, fast enough shift speed in sport mode, and proven reliability.

The ZF8 pairs better than the manual. It’s one of the best transmissions ever made and was what Toyota tuned the supras engine around originally.

I prefer the ZF8 transmission over the GRC manual. You can’t out-shift a computer, and the responsiveness lets me engage with my style of driving.

The automatic is absolutely brilliant. The ZF8 is amazing, especially for tracking. I’ve had several people, including professional drivers, drive mine and they’ve been nothing but impressed. I’ve had mine since 2021, before MT was an option. I never even considered trading for an MT (and budget is not an issue).

The auto is amazing. Sometimes I wish I had an auto instead because the ZF is so good.

The FWD and eurocentric Cougar was quite popular among college kids coming from middle class families; before the mk4 Jetta and NB came along. I remember seeing many of these in wrecking yards that were in relatively great shape; starting around the later part of last decade. Most of them end up there with just a bad auto tranny.

Soția mea a avut Ford Mondeo cumpărat de nou și întreținut doar la reprezentanță și i s a stricat cutia de viteze automată

experience ko sa Focus, medyo sirain ung Auto Tranny nya.

The sweet three speed automatic tranny is starting to miss shifts however.
