In partnership with CLP Motorsports, The CANtrolls engineering team was able to successfully get a ZF 8HP transmission swapped and working in a high-performance 1953 Corvette custom build.

The car spent 3 years sitting on a lift, completely built, but the wheels wouldn’t turn and the car was unable to run. ZF Group, the manufacturer of the transmission, originally told CLP Motorsports that using the part outside of intended applications was “impossible.”

Thanks to our tech, we were able to get our controller and software installed, and by the end of the week the team was tearing up the streets of California in a 1953 Corvette with some of today’s best technology.
