The ZF 8HP70 Transmission is a high-performance 8-speed automatic transmission known for its smooth shifts, quick response and impressive fuel efficiency. Designed to handle up to 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, ideal for powerful sedans, SUVs and light trucks. With its wide gear ratio spread and adaptive shift logic, the 8HP70 transmission features a set of carefully engineered 8HP70 gear ratios including the 1st at 4.69, 2nd at 3.13, 3rd at 2.10, 4th at 1.67, 5th at 1.29, 6th at 1.00, 7th at 0.84, 8th at 0.67, and reverse at 3.30.
The 8HP70 delivers strong acceleration, refined cruising and excellent drivability in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive setups. It’s commonly found in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles, particularly those with powerful V6 and V8 engines.
8HP70 fitment is application and calibration specific. Chrysler 300/Charger HEMI applications use different TCU calibration and torque converter specifications than BMW 5 Series applications. Jeep Grand Cherokee applications use different output shaft configurations for the Quadra-Trac transfer case. Our VIN verification and application cross-reference confirms the exact 8HP70 variant for your specific vehicle before it ships.
Owners comparing a used transmission versus a remanufactured transmission or ZF-specialist rebuild for the 8HP70 face clear cost differences. A used ZF 8HP70 transmission from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the complete factory assembly as an OEM transmission with the mechatronic unit, torque converter, and shift calibration all original and unmodified. Unlike a remanufactured transmission that has been disassembled and rebuilt, this used OEM transmission preserves the factory-calibrated precision that defines the 8HP70’s reputation.
Every used ZF 8HP70 transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included — ZF TCU adaptation by a qualified specialist is required. These are genuine ZF OEM units, and we stand behind every one.
