ZF 2095.318.001 INPUT SHAFT for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2095.318.001 INPUT SHAFT is a critical power-transfer component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part receives torque directly from the engine clutch or torque converter, channeling rotational force into the transmission’s planetary gearset. Precision-machined from high-grade alloy steel, the SKU 2095.318.001 ensures minimal backlash and optimal load distribution during heavy-duty operation. When paired with a properly maintained 2095109015: DIFFERENTIAL, this input shaft forms the backbone of driveline reliability in commercial vehicles and industrial machinery.

Symptoms of Failure

• Audible gear whine or grinding during acceleration – Worn splines on the 2095.318.001 cause irregular meshing with the input hub, producing a high-pitched noise that intensifies under load.
• Delayed engagement or gear slipping – A fatigued input shaft surface reduces friction contact, leading to hesitation when shifting from neutral to drive or reverse.
• Metallic debris in transmission fluid – Flaking or pitting on the shaft’s bearing journals sheds microscopic steel particles, contaminating the oil and accelerating wear on the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING.
• Vibration through the gear lever or chassis – Bent or twisted input shafts create rotational imbalance, transmitting harmonics that worsen at highway speeds.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This input shaft is factory-specified for the ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission models, commonly found in mid-range trucks, buses, and construction loaders. It also fits select WG180 and WG200 variants when used with the correct 2095209037: DIFFERENTIAL assembly. For applications requiring a reinforced housing, the 2095309059: DIFF.HOUSING provides the necessary structural support for sustained high-torque operation. Always verify your transmission serial number against ZF’s compatibility charts before installation.
