ZF5HP18 [92-UP] Automatic Transmission Rear Band Rigid Brake 99 (Relined)

A worn or relined brake band that has lost its friction surface will cause the ZF5HP18 automatic transmission to slip or shudder in the gear range it controls, and replacing it with a properly relined rigid band is the direct fix for that condition. This is a single relined rigid brake band built specifically for ZF5HP18 units produced between 1992 and 1999, and it is sold individually, not as part of a kit.

The rigid construction of this band matters at the servo. Unlike a flexible band that can distort slightly under high apply pressure, a rigid band keeps the lining in full, even contact with the drum surface across the entire apply cycle. The relining process puts fresh friction material on the stock rigid carrier, so the fit and geometry match what the servo and drum were designed to accept.

This listing is for one band, weighing 2 lb. It does not include friction clutch discs, steel reaction plates, an Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, seals, or any other component. If your job calls for those parts, they need to be sourced separately. Check your complete parts requirement before placing the order.

REMCO has been working in automatic transmissions since 1991. Each piece that leaves the facility is checked against its parts list before the box is closed, and that list is packed inside. There is no pre-packaged inventory sitting on a shelf: this band is pulled and inspected at the time your order is filled.

Before purchasing, confirm that the unit you are working on is coded as ZF5HP18 and that the build date falls between 1992 and 1999. A misread transmission code is the most frequent reason a correct part does not fit.

• Restores holding force in the ZF5HP18 unit by replacing the worn or glazed band that causes slip, shudder, or delayed engagement in affected gear ranges.
• This listing covers one relined rigid brake band only. It does not include friction discs, steel plates, Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, or any other rebuild components. Verify your full parts list before ordering.
• The lining on this rigid band is applied to the stock rigid carrier, giving the servo a firm, consistent contact surface without the flex that bonded soft bands can develop under repeated apply cycles.
• One relined rigid brake band, 2 lb shipping weight. Each unit is checked against its parts list before the box is sealed, and that list ships inside the box.
• Before ordering, confirm the transmission code on the unit matches ZF5HP18 and that the application falls within the 1992-1999 range. An incorrect ID is the most common source of a wrong part return.
