ZF Aftermarket has hosted a training session focused on automatic and dual-clutch gearboxes, with in-depth diagnostic guidance.

The session was the second offered exclusively to ZF [pro]Tech Plus members, hosted at the firm’s facility at Blythe Valley Business Park in Solihull.

Over two days, attendees were given hands-on technical training on the ZF 8HP automatic gearbox range, including hybrid variants, as well as dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs) and direct-shift gearboxes (DSGs) from Sachs.

Stuart McLeod, technical support and training lead at ZF Aftermarket, said: “It was another superb session.

“There’s nothing like getting professionals into the training room and seeing them leave with even more confidence, clarity, and capability.

“These events are all about equipping garages with the knowledge they need to tackle complex transmissions and hybrid systems, and to feel part of a wider technical community.”

Attendees also toured ZF’s on-site research and development centre, and took part in a live question and answer session with technical experts.

The first day ended with an evening of virtual racing, team-building, and networking, at Birmingham’s F1 arcade, followed by dinner and drinks.

Steve Carter, founder of Carter Automotive, said: “The training was absolutely first class, informative, practical and very relevant to what we’re seeing in the workshop.

“It’s great to have this level of support from ZF, and the networking side of things really added to the value of the two days.”
