tis ok as long as you dont try fly your p38..
I thought it stood for 'Zero Fookers' cause thats how many people know how to fix 'em
Well it doesnt, actually. It stands for Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen which translates as the toothed wheel maker of Friedrichshafen. However, there is a Zeppelin connection as old Ferdinand established his factory in Friedrichshafen, which is a pretty town in the very south of Germany on Lake Constance, and ZF started off in business making gears for Zeppelin. Theres an interesting Zeppelin Museum there now
Have a good look at the ZF site, it quite clearly states ZF of Friedrichshafen is a private company and that ZF stands for the Zepelin Foundation who are, with one other, effectively the owners.Well it doesn’t, actually.

If Zebedee Florence plc took them over tomorrow ZF would still stand for Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen.
i dont think they lr do manuals for later boxes as they stopped factory training in unit rebuilding years ago ,but earlier manual will do for what you need layout is identical,i had to rebuild a l322 transfer box the other day for our local dealer as they had no idea or info on how it was built or worked,if you do have a go yourself you wont want a rebuild kit just front gasket,filter ,sump seal ,oil pump housing seal 4 x seal for oilway to clutches and any parts that are faulty ,the parts are cheaper bought separately and not from zf ,i can give you suppliers numbers if needed,you generally find unless box has been severely overheated everything bar your problem will be perfect,nearly every one ive rebuilt has really only needed one way clutch and one or two of front clutches replacing,whereas before they were put on diesels just clutch A
