Overview
The ZF 4656.183.251 LOOSE PARTS kit is a critical service component engineered specifically for the WG 94 Series transmission family. This genuine OEM assembly contains the essential loose hardware required to secure and align internal sub-assemblies during a rebuild or overhaul. Positioned within the main control housing and valve body interface, this kit ensures that all fasteners, pins, and alignment components meet factory torque and fitment specifications. The SKU 4656.183.251 is a direct replacement for worn or missing hardware, preventing vibration-induced loosening and maintaining precise hydraulic circuit sealing.
Symptoms of Failure
- Transmission oil leaks at the housing seam: When the loose parts in this kit degrade, the seal between the 4661101033: HOUSING and the main case can fail, causing external fluid seepage.
- Intermittent gear slipping under load: Worn cylindrical pins or fasteners allow the valve body to shift slightly, disrupting clutch pack engagement pressure.
- Abnormal driveline vibration or rattle: Missing or loose 0631306174: CYLINDRICAL PIN components create play between the pump housing and the converter bell housing.
- Erratic shift timing or harsh engagement: Degraded hardware in the 4661301096: HOUSING assembly can misalign the shift valve bores, causing delayed or harsh shifts.
