Line 3: This is a short list (and long explanation) of the semi-automatic, pre-selector gearboxes designed by Maybach and made under contract by ZF, fitted in German tanks and half-tracks before and during World War II. This article was created as an adjunct to [[List of WWII Maybach engines]] and [[User:MinorProphet/Draft subpages/WW2 ZF gearboxes]]. In theory™ the list itself should be relatively short,~~{{efn\|Hah! Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.}}~~ since there were only four production-series models of this type, fitted to the [[Sd.Kfz. 10]] and its armoured derivative the [[Sd.Kfz. 250\|250]]; and to various models of the<!-- [[Panzer I]],--> [[Panzer II]]; [[Panzer III]]; and [[Tiger I]] and [[Tiger II\|II]], and derivatives. Indeed, what a lot of fuss for four production and ~~five/six?~~seven test gearboxes, total 1011 models. As far as I am aware (hah!), only the gearbox fitted to the Panzer III up to mid-1939 suffered from major problems, and they appear to be a combination of design faults by Maybach as well as manufacturing faults by the main sub-contractor, ZF. The rest appear to have been relatively well-behaved.
