    Hi all,

    I opened up the inspection covers on one of my ZF gear boxes and noticed a discoloration on the teeth that I had not seen before. Does anybody know what this is??

    Hi,

    It is most likely the marking dye used by the factory when the gearboxes were built.

    Hi K1W1,

    I was hoping this might be the case.

    Thanks for your reply.
