BMW ZF 8HP75 Transmission Upgrade

The ZF 8HP75 transmission is an 8-speed automatic transmission developed for various BMW models equipped with N63 and S63 V8 engines, including the F90 M5, F91 M8, G11 750i, and G15 M850i. 

When enhancing engine performance, it is crucial that the transmission is upgraded as well, ensuring that it will reliably perform under the increase in power generated by the engine.

DEKA excels in providing high-quality transmission upgrades, using expert engineering and the careful replacement of high-wear, OEM components with CNC-machined billet elements, increased frictions, and craftsmen assembly.

Benefits include greater holding power and durability, reduced clutch slippage, and enhanced performance.  

Each level of upgrade provides greater torque rating, offering a unique solution for each build, driver preferences, and budget.
