ZF 4616.305.062 CLUTCH BUSHING for WG65 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4616.305.062 CLUTCH BUSHING is a precision-engineered wear component designed specifically for the WG 65 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part acts as a critical interface between the clutch assembly and the transmission housing, reducing friction and ensuring smooth rotational movement during gear engagement. The SKU 4616.305.062 is a direct factory replacement that maintains the exact clearance tolerances required for optimal hydraulic pressure distribution. When installed alongside the TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this bushing prevents metal-on-metal contact that would otherwise accelerate wear on the main shaft.

Symptoms of Failure

• Clutch drag or slow disengagement – A worn bushing creates excessive radial play, causing the clutch pack to remain partially engaged even when the pedal is depressed.
• Low hydraulic pressure at the clutch piston – Scoring on the bushing bore allows pressurized oil to bypass, leading to slipping under load and delayed shifts.
• Metallic debris in the transmission oil filter – Flaking bronze or steel particles from a failing bushing contaminate the fluid, often requiring replacement of the FILTER INSERT.
• Audible squealing or grinding from the bell housing – Dry running or misalignment generates high-frequency noise that worsens as the bushing clearance exceeds 0.15 mm.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch bushing is engineered for the ZF WG 65 Series transmission family. It is a direct fit for models including the WG65, WG80, WG120, WG150, WG180, and WG200 series. The bushing seats inside the TRANSMISSION HOUSING and is secured using specific fasteners: the HEXAGON SCREW (M8x20), the HEXAGON SCREW (M10x25), and the HEXAGON SCREW (M12x30). Always verify the bushing bore condition before reassembly to ensure proper oil flow to the clutch piston.
