Description of the machine ZF 9HP48
ZF presented its 9-speed automatic transmission in 2011, but its production began in 2013. This is a very compact hydromechanical machine for front or all-wheel drive models with transverse petrol or diesel units and torque up to 480 Nm. Of the design features of this gearbox, we note the use of a blocking cam clutch, a torque converter with its own crankcase, a vane-type oil pump, and an external TCM unit.

Reviews on automatic transmission 9HP48 its pros and cons
Advantages:

- It has a wide distribution
- Good selection of new and used parts
- Really pick up a donor on the secondary
Disadvantages:
- Many problems in the early years of release

948TE Machine Maintenance Schedule
As in any modern automatic transmission, it is required to change the oil regularly, at least once every 50 km. In total, there are about 000 liters of lubricant in the system, but with a partial replacement, 6.0 liters are usually enough. Use ZF Lifeguard Fluid 4.0 or Lifeguard Fluid 8 or equivalent MOPAR 9 & 8 speed ATF.
The following consumables may be required for maintenance (according to the ATF-EXPERT database):
| The oil filter | article 0501217695 |
| Pallet gasket | item L239300A |
Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the 9HP48 box
In the early years of production, owners often complained about shifting at random and even involuntary transition to neutral. But subsequent updates fixed this.
With a rare oil change, the valve body solenoids quickly become clogged with wear products and the box starts to push. So renew the lubricant in this transmission more often.
The most famous weak point of this automatic transmission is the input shaft. It is squeezed out by oil pressure and when the pressure is reduced, it simply cuts off its teeth.
With frequent overheating of the transmission, rubber parts are tanned in it and leaks appear. Also on the forums, there are cases of failure of the TCM unit, which has not yet been repaired.
The manufacturer claims a 9HP48 gearbox resource of 200 km, and somewhere this automatic machine serves.
