Transmission - ZF 45C

NOTE: 6/28/23   WE Have Received our allotment of these transmissions!!!

This is a great replacement transmission for the Borg Warner Velvet Drive 1:1 used on most older direct drive ski boats. Not a replacement for V-drives or PCM 1.23 : 1 gears

Our ZF 45C 1:1 Transmission's INCLUDE the Mounting Bolt/Stud Kit needed to convert from Borg-Warner Velvet Drive to ZF

ALL American Skiers used the Velvet drive transmission from 1976 - 1995, and then began using the ZF 45C from 1996+

Can also be used to replace the PCM 40 gear, will need a new damper plate to fit.

Set up for Left Hand Prop rotation (Std. rotation)  Shipped Dry, you will need 2 qts of Dextron III  ATF Oil.

It is always recommended to replace the drive damper plate when installing a new transmission.

It is also recommended to clean & blow out the trans oil cooler, or replace if oil was milky in old trans.
