ZF 0501.298.295 SEAL KIT for WG115/WG130/WG158

Overview

The ZF 0501.298.295 SEAL KIT is a critical OEM genuine maintenance component designed to restore hydraulic integrity within ZF WG-series transmissions. This kit contains all necessary seals and gaskets that prevent fluid migration between the transmission housing and the rotating shafts. As a direct replacement for part number 0501.298.295, it is engineered to fit precisely within the TRANSMISSION HOUSING, ensuring that high-pressure oil circuits remain isolated from the gear train. This seal kit is the primary solution for eliminating external leaks and maintaining proper clutch pack lubrication across multiple WG model families.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks from the bell housing or rear seal area: Worn seals in the 0501.298.295 kit allow transmission fluid to escape, leaving visible puddles under the vehicle and causing low fluid levels.
• Erratic gear engagement or slipping: When seals degrade, hydraulic pressure drops, leading to delayed shifts or clutch slip during acceleration, especially under load.
• Contaminated transmission fluid: Failed seals permit debris from the HOUS.FRONT SECT to mix with the oil, resulting in dark, gritty fluid that accelerates internal wear.
• Overheating transmission: Loss of seal integrity reduces oil flow to coolers, causing the transmission to run hotter than normal and triggering warning lights.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This seal kit is engineered for the following ZF transmission series: WG115, WG130, WG158, WG160, WG200, and WG210. It is specifically designed to interface with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the HOUS.FRONT SECT found in these models. The kit also fits WG180 and WG190 variants where the rear housing configuration matches the 0501.298.295 seal pattern. Always verify your transmission serial number against the OEM parts catalog before installation.
