ZF 4460.368.008 SPUR GEAR for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.368.008 SPUR GEAR is a precision-machined internal component designed for the WG 200 Series transmission. This gear directly engages with the countershaft to transfer rotational force within the planetary gearset, ensuring smooth power delivery under heavy loads. As an OEM genuine part, SKU 4460.368.008 meets strict ZF tolerances for tooth profile and surface hardness. It is typically located in the intermediate shaft assembly, where it works in concert with the 4460165051 CONSOLE to maintain proper gear alignment. Replacing a worn spur gear with this exact part restores driveline efficiency and prevents secondary damage to adjacent components.

Symptoms of Failure

• Whining or grinding noise during gear engagement — A worn 4460.368.008 spur gear produces a distinct high-pitched whine under acceleration, often mistaken for bearing failure. This noise intensifies when the transmission is under load.
• Intermittent gear slipping under torque — As the tooth profile erodes, the gear loses its ability to maintain positive engagement, causing the transmission to momentarily slip out of gear during uphill climbs or heavy hauling.
• Metal particles in transmission fluid — Flaking or pitting on the spur gear’s teeth sheds fine metallic debris into the oil, which can be detected during routine fluid changes. This debris accelerates wear on the 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW and surrounding fasteners.
• Vibration through the shift lever — Uneven tooth wear creates harmonic vibrations that transmit through the drivetrain, felt as a constant buzz in the operator’s hand during operation.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This spur gear is engineered primarily for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including models WG200, WG210, and WG220. It also fits select WG180 variants that share the same intermediate shaft layout. The gear interfaces directly with the 4460368311 CONSOLE and is secured using the 0730100365 WASHER to prevent axial play. For applications requiring a full rebuild, verify that your transmission’s housing bore matches the 35 mm splined shaft diameter. Always pair this gear with a new 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW to ensure proper torque retention.
