zf 3hp-20 trans filter source

[D Calkins]

Good morning, everyone

I'm trying to find a trans oil strainer for the ZF 3HP-20. There are lots of stuff available for the 4HP22

thanks

David

There were other cars that used that trans, I believe I bought one for a Jag xj6 from Moss Motors, matched the photos to be sure.

Chris HB put together a very nice history of the automatic trans for the e9. Is there a database that I can search by VIN to know what trans is in a car? Do I have the 3HP20 or 3HP-22? The shifter is a single stalk, not the "T" handle.

Because i found a strainer for the 3HP-22

Input the part number into RealOEM to see if they match.

I guess I have a BW 65, thanks HB Chris

The early BWs used the slender shifter.

This car 12/71 has a slender shifter
