Show original supplier description
The ZF S5-47 is a 5-speed manual transmission, a German engineering design by ZF Friedrichshafen AG. It features an end-loaded aluminum case with an integrated bell housing and is compatible with both RWD and 4WD configurations. This robust transmission was utilized by Ford in various models, beginning in 1995. The ZF S5-47 is a popular choice for heavy-duty truck applications due to its ruggedness, reliability, and versatility. It has been observed in Ford F-Series trucks (including F250, F350, and F450 models), P-Series vans, and Full-Size Broncos, typically paired with engines ranging from 4.9L to 7.5L, depending on the specific year and model. This transmission is commonly associated with the 1994-1997 model years for Ford F-Series trucks. Additionally, applications extend to later Ford models including the F-Series from 1995-Up, P-Series Vans from 1995-Up, and Full-Size Broncos from 1999-Up. It is important to provide the transmission identification tag, which includes the Ford code and ZF number (1317-XXX-XXX), when ordering replacement transmissions or parts for accurate fitment.
