ZF 4460.168.400 GEAR SET for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.168.400 GEAR SET is a precision-engineered internal component specifically designed for the WG 200 series powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine part functions as the primary reduction gear cluster, transferring torque from the input shaft to the planetary carrier within the main drive housing. As a matched set, it ensures synchronized gear meshing and optimal load distribution across the transmission’s drivetrain. The SKU 4460.168.400 is a direct factory replacement, guaranteeing exact tooth geometry and heat-treat specifications for long service life in heavy-duty industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

• Audible gear whine or grinding during shifts – Worn teeth on the 4460.168.400 set produce a high-pitched noise under load, often mistaken for bearing failure.
• Intermittent gear slipping under heavy torque – As the gear profile degrades, the transmission loses positive engagement, causing sudden RPM surges without corresponding vehicle speed increase.
• Metallic debris in transmission oil filter – Flaking or pitting on the gear teeth sheds ferrous particles, which accumulate in the sump and clog the filter element prematurely.
• Vibration at specific road speeds – Uneven wear across the gear set creates harmonic vibrations that resonate through the driveline, particularly during deceleration.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This gear set is engineered for the ZF WG 200 series transmission family. It is directly compatible with the WG180, WG200, and WG211 models used in wheel loaders, forklifts, and telehandlers. The 4460.168.400 also fits select WG 150 variants when used with the appropriate 4644305041: ADAPTER. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.

During installation, this gear set must be paired with the 4460165051: CONSOLE and the 4460368311: CONSOLE to maintain correct shaft alignment. Secure the assembly using the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and the 0730100365: WASHER to prevent fastener loosening under high vibration.
