ZF 2094.309.018 AXLE BEVEL GEAR for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2094.309.018 AXLE BEVEL GEAR is a critical power-transfer component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 2094.309.018, sits within the final drive assembly where it meshes directly with the ring gear to convert rotational speed into torque for the axle shafts. Precision-ground teeth ensure minimal backlash and quiet operation under heavy loads. When paired with a robust 2094101012: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this bevel gear maintains exacting alignment, reducing wear on adjacent components.

Symptoms of Failure

• Whining or howling noise during acceleration: Worn teeth on the bevel gear create a distinct high-pitched sound, especially when the transmission is under load.
• Vibration in the driveline: As the gear surface degrades, uneven contact causes noticeable shuddering through the chassis at highway speeds.
• Metal debris in transmission fluid: Flakes or glitter in the oil pan indicate spalling of the gear’s hardened surface, often accompanied by a burnt smell.
• Intermittent loss of drive: Severe tooth breakage can cause the gear to skip, leading to sudden power interruptions during gear engagement.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This bevel gear is specifically designed for the ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 models when used in conjunction with the correct 2094301036: HOUSING and 2094298057: HOUSING. For proper sealing, always install a new 2094301071: COVER to prevent lubricant loss. Verify your transmission’s serial number before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
