ZF 4699.300.176 OUTER CLUTCH DISK for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4699.300.176 OUTER CLUTCH DISK is a critical friction component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part sits within the clutch pack assembly, where it transfers torque between rotating shafts during gear engagement. The SKU 4699.300.176 specifically functions as the outermost friction plate in the clutch stack, providing the initial contact surface for hydraulic pressure application. When installed alongside the 4699101159 HOUSING and 4699301254 HOUSING, this disk ensures precise modulation of power flow through the transmission’s planetary gear sets.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh shifting – Worn friction material causes hesitation between gear changes, often accompanied by a noticeable “clunk” during engagement.
• Torque converter shudder – Vibration felt through the driveline during acceleration, particularly in lower gears, indicates the outer clutch disk has lost its coefficient of friction.
• Burnt transmission fluid odor – Overheated clutch material contaminates the ATF, producing a distinct acrid smell and darkening the fluid color.
• Slipping under load – Engine RPM rises without proportional vehicle speed increase, especially when climbing grades or towing heavy loads.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This outer clutch disk is specifically designed for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions. It also fits select variants of the WG180 and WG200 series when used with the 4699298049 HOUSING KIT and 4699309123 HOUSING COVER. Always verify your transmission’s clutch pack configuration before installation, as some models require additional shimming or snap rings for proper clearance.
