Overview
The ZF 4657.056.122 6 WG 210 Powershift Transmission Assembly is a complete, factory-matched unit designed for heavy-duty off-highway applications. As the core of the WG 210 series, this assembly integrates the main gear cluster, clutch packs, and hydraulic control components into a single, ready-to-install package. The SKU 4657.056.122 replaces worn or failed transmissions in wheel loaders, dozers, and material handlers, restoring full power flow from the torque converter to the driveline. For a full rebuild, the TRANSMISSION HOUSING provides the structural foundation, while the HOUS.FRONT SECT seals the forward clutch assembly.
Symptoms of Failure
- Delayed engagement or gear slipping under load: Worn clutch discs or piston seals inside the assembly cause the transmission to hesitate when shifting from neutral to forward or reverse, particularly on inclines.
- Low hydraulic pressure and erratic shifting: Internal leakage past spool valves or damaged sealing rings results in pressure drops below 12 bar, leading to harsh or missed shifts.
- Metallic debris in the oil filter or sump: Bearing spalling or gear tooth chipping generates fine metal particles, which can clog the SCREEN SHEET and accelerate wear on adjacent components.
- External oil leaks from the housing joints: Cracks or porosity in the HOUSING REAR PART or the HOUSING REAR SECTION allow ATF to escape, reducing lubrication and causing overheating.

Compatibility
This complete unit is engineered for the ZF WG 210 series, but it also fits select models in the WG 180 and WG 200 families when used with the correct bellhousing adapter. Specifically, it is compatible with ZF WG 180, WG 200, and WG 210 transmissions found in Volvo L120/L150 wheel loaders, Case 921E/1021G loaders, and Caterpillar 950M/962M machines. Always verify the flange pattern against your existing TRANSMISSION HOUSING before installation.
