The top cover on this ZF has a vent that has a 3 inch long tube that sticks down in the trans near the ring and pinion. If i mount the cover so that the vent is closest to the front then the vent tube clears everything inside but the two trans mount holes are approx 2 inches toward the back to far. If i turn the cover around and have the vent toward back--the trans mounts correct but the 3 inch long vent tube pipe hits the ring gear!!! wt-heck. The guy that took this apart is not around anylonger and i have never worked on a GT 40 SPF MK II before. I know these are the right parts--there the only parts-what am i missing here?

I believe that your transaxle is setup for pantera orientation, your diff needs to be flipped. Otherwise you will have 1 gear forward and 5 reverse.

Well Sheee ott. You guys were spot on. My builder was not to happy with me. Had to swap the ring gear over to the other side--all bolts up nice now except for the 1-2 3-4 5-r shift cable-not sure how this previous owner had it mounted--none of the bolt holes line up and he has a bunch of strange brackets and pullys so i have more puzzle to figure out.
Yip that was it--thanks for your insight. Well im getting better and removing and replacing the trans!!!

Amen to that. Back in my Can-Am days, we ruined a Hewland LG600 by having ring gear bolts back out far enough to ruin the housing.
