ZF 4644.152.461 CLUTCH for WG 180/WG 200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4644.152.461 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component engineered specifically for the WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits within the planetary gear set assembly, where it engages and disengages power flow between the input shaft and the main drive train. The SKU 4644.152.461 is precision-machined to factory tolerances, ensuring seamless hydraulic actuation and minimal frictional losses during gear shifts. When installed alongside the 4644101131 TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the 4644301228 TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this clutch provides the mechanical lock-up required for reliable power delivery in heavy-duty industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh gear engagement: A worn 4644.152.461 clutch often causes hesitation when shifting from neutral to drive, or produces a jarring thud during gear changes.
• Transmission fluid contamination: Friction material shedding from the clutch disc can clog the hydraulic circuit, leading to dark, burnt-smelling oil and reduced system pressure.
• Torque converter shudder: As the clutch loses its grip, you may feel a vibration or shudder during acceleration, especially under load in WG 180 series units.
• Intermittent gear slipping: The transmission may momentarily lose power under heavy torque, with the engine revving higher than expected before re-engaging.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is designed for the ZF WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions, which are widely used in construction, agricultural, and material handling equipment. It is a direct replacement for units requiring the 4644.152.461 part number. The clutch interfaces directly with the 0730365067 TYPE PLATE for correct orientation and is secured using the 0631311009 GROOVED STUD. Always verify your transmission model number before ordering.
