You gotta do a bit more research on the ZF 6-speed. It is known for issues, and is the same transmission found in the E65/66 BMW, your Phantom, etc, and are prone to mechatronc issues as well as the “sealed for life” transmission fluid which, despite dealer protocol, DOES need to be changed. Torque converter is constantly locked in all gears. Giubo flex disc also notorious for wear and needing replacement. The bright side? It’s all very serviceable and usually easy to catch issues before catastrophic failure. See if the fluid has ever been changed and if not, that’s a good place to start. A lot of people have had issues disappear from a fluid change. Excited to see the diagnosis from the Wizard!

[@Crusher103]

yep we have one of these transmission in our E60 BMW. Solenoid issues, leaking mechatronic seals, the dreaded transmission slam. Oh there are a list of issues with the transmission. when its working, its a beautiful transmission but man it is not a reliable one past around.....80,000 miles which this Maserati has lol. I believe he has a solenoid issue already though so it will be interesting to watch this unfold.

"A ZF transmission that comes from Germany, Mercedes" Mercedes make their own transmissions... ZF 6HP26 is used by BMW, Jaguar, Volkswagen & Audi, Land rover & Rangerover etc... and late in its production life - Ford. Mercedes doesn't use them.

[@TeamSwagGod]

Thank you. My head almost exploded..

[@desmondmoonbear4143]

Yep

[@slasher9883]

Not completely relevant but these were used in Aussie built Ford Falcons from around 2009- first Made in Germany, later Made in China. The Ford Falcon had an external trans oil cooler which would fail and cause water to enter the transmission and destroy it. Cost of rebuild, 3k +. On cars that start at around 5kAusd now on the used car market (in sedan form, utes are worth more.) So what's my point again? Oh yeah, for once I can't blame the Germans for doing something stupid and screwing their customers (though $50 a quart for special ZF oil is ridiculous). If you keep water out of them they are a really good transmission.

[@wholeNwon]

Thanks. I was going to look that up, too.

[@twentysevenlitres]

@@slasher9883 the Chinese licensed version (made after ZF ceased production in 2014) was a lesser rated design and used only on standard 6cyl Falcon sedans. ZF made 6hp26's were stockpiled for use in V8 (Coyote) and turbo 6cyl Falcon variants. The radiator mounted trans cooler is not a new design, but the Ford version in Falcon radiator was prone to cracking which subsequently let water into the transmission as you said. Typical Ford cost cutting.

Actually ZF has nothing to do with Mercedes. (around minute 4:30 you mentioned something like this) Mercedes builded and builds their own gearboxes, while ZF is since september 2014 part of TRW Automotive. In the carworld you mainly find the transmissions from ZF in BMWs and the BMW related branches of the modern era, in a few Audis, etc.

[@aaronbays4]

Chrysler uses them with the Hemi V8 in Charger, 300, Grand Cherokee, Challenger and Dodge Ram.

[@patrickf.2754]

ZF is not part of TRW Automotive, it‘s actually the other way round.

That exhaust sounds identical to a 1984 Porsche 944 I used to have, I know because I had 2 and used to contantly rev them up to listen to the sound of the single flowmaster as it was pleasant.

[@jonathanbolton8558]

Finally an amazing car, congrats on your purchase, even if there are a few things broken, they won’t outweigh the huge amount of personality you’ll get.

So i have 2 exams coming up but hoovie just uploaded video. I guess my life choices are worse than yours Tyler.

[@MycketTuff]

Actually Hoovie is doing pretty good. His failures makes him money. Yours most likely don't :D

[@Don_Izzo]

In this episode of Hoovies Garage, Tyler buys a car even more unreliable than a 2007 BMW M5!

[@runningman2198]

And pays more for it with 100 less hp😩👌🏼

[@aldoyuzet]

How do you trade a m5 for a Quattroporte? And if you argue wanting better ride quality, there's always a w220 s55amg or a alpina b7 to be had.

[@taz874]

Im convinced he has a thing for unreliable cars lool

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

@Hoovie Next year you could import a 1995 Citroen Xantia Activa, the Activa version has a special suspension design and already with 90s standard tires it had higher cornering Gs than modern super cars. It would be hilarious to see you take it to autocross.

[@lopoicrama]

This

[@slasher9883]

Fully endorse and support this decision. Always loved the look of these, it has a Ferrari V8 and the proper (somewhat) reliable auto trans. A lot of car for 8k. Here in rip-off land (Australia) same car would be 40k plus (approx 29k USD). For such a low price can afford to deal with the Italian breakages. Great purchse I think.

[@PickleRik323]

This is probably the coolest car you've bought in a while, congrats Hoovie....don't blow it up.

[@neverobey1477]

These cars are way less reliable than the m5 bmw!

[@benzzoy]

But will it grenade its engine on a whim though?

[@TheCompyshop]

I actually think the car is more reliable than the M5 honestly

[@merlinthebikewizard4392]

It is a Chrysler product. This is par for the course.

[@SiNdrOmaS1]

EVERY car is more reliable than an e6p M5

[@JJ-pf7qo]

@@merlinthebikewizard4392 that one is before Chrylser. Well Maserati is far far away from being reliable anyway. Just another Italian and doesn't help that they got married with unreliable American brand.

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

You’re not clever.

[@chiefdenis]

Mercedes is pretty much the most reliable premium german brand

[@jerrywang5791]

You’ve never owned a Mercedes if you assume they are unreliable. I own a GL450 and an S550 and getting an E400 coupe soon and the GL and S class have both been very reliable. They have only been through regular maintenance like any car, and I assume the E400 coupe I get will be just as reliable. Own a car before you say something about it that you’re not even sure about.

[@jrbhatti1167]

Jerry Wang I do own one. They drive great while they don’t have problems. I’ve had my power steering go out, tire pressure sensor go broke, amongst other problems.

[@jerrywang5791]

jr Bhatti what year is it?

[@ceb19900]

The colour compared to the M5 should be an omen!!!

[@ToolDeals]

The transmission problem is likely either a fluid and filter change or worst case there's a solenoid failure. You can find a new valve body on ebay for a few hundred and do the filter fluid and valve body at the same time

[@monkeybusiness7614]

Your knowledge of Maserati is like someone who read a couple forum threads and formed a brand opinion based solely on a few bad apples. Clutches don't wear out in 10 or 20k on the Duo select (or Cambiocorsa) unless all you do is launch the damn thing from a dead stop. It's no different than a regular manual. Burn the clutch and it wears faster. Duo select also passes more power to the wheels and way more fun to drive than the ZF. Oh, and replacing cam variators is a 5hr job and costs about $200 not $10k.

The wizard did say that he is "actually smart with his money" in his Japanese import video. Idk man, Maserati?

[@benbattista5035]

Swap the motor, throw in a new radio head unit, win the lottery, and detail it and you got yourself a great car. Definitely make sure you win the lottery.
