Please click here for more information about the RBT-6 Transmission - 6 speeds for the Pantera!

The most expensive part of the Pantera is its transmission.
A lot has been written about the transmission in the club magazines and in books. The claim has been made that the ZF is "bullet-proof". We can tell you that any piece of equipment that is over 20 years of age and has over 300  horsepower slamming away at it, is not bullet proof at all.

This is especially true if the owner has not had the transmission properly serviced or has increased the horsepower!

The ZF should have the fluids changed yearly

The ZF should have the ring and pinion safety wired

The ZF should be inspected and updated at least once in its lifetime!

The sad truth is that not every owner performs any preventive maintenance on the transmission!
FACT
There are few qualified ZF mechanics in the world that can properly service the transmission
There is only one source for factory parts
Copy cat gears and parts are on the market
Quality work does NOT come cheap

 

A ZF transmission can cost over 5-8,000 dollars or more to replace. A transmission failure can result in substantial repair costs and down time.

RBT Transmissions is the sole source in the world for original ZF parts for the Dash 1 and 2 ZF transmission which the Pantera uses. 

Lloyd Butfoy of RBT is considered the leading expert in ZF repair and updating. This is beyond question.

P.I. MotorSPORTS, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are now affiliated with Lloyd Butfoy and RBT Transmissions and can offer our customers the full line of service, repair, rebuilding and updating.

We can remove your transmission for you or you may ship it to us for service.
