tranny question? is a gas zf the same as a diesel zf?

[FENKER]

i have a zf 5speed and its done for, and my friend has one out of his ford with a 460 in it. he will sell it to me but i wanna know if it would work.... thanks

I dont think it'll physically bolt up

It might bolt up but the O.D. gear ratio is differenet.

[2005F250]

Trans ratio's are different. On a ZF-5 for a diesel the ratio's are
1st 4.14
2nd 2.37
3rd 1.42
4th 1.00
OD .76

ZF-5 for a gasser are
1st 5.72
2nd 2.94
3rd 1.61
4th 1.00
OD .76

so does that mean that if i put the gas one in that i will actually have a 1st gear haha faster than 3 mph
