ZF 0501.210.564 SCREEN FILTER for WG100/WG130/WG131

Overview

The ZF 0501.210.564 SCREEN FILTER is a critical fluid filtration component designed for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits within the transmission’s hydraulic circuit, specifically positioned upstream of the oil pump inlet or within the valve body sump, to capture particulate contaminants before they can damage precision components. The SKU 0501.210.564 ensures a direct factory-spec replacement, maintaining the exact micron rating and flow characteristics required for reliable transmission operation. When paired with a new 0634313603: O-RING during installation, this screen filter prevents bypass leakage that could compromise filtration efficiency.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 0501.210.564 becomes clogged or degrades, operators often notice delayed engagement when shifting from neutral to drive due to restricted oil flow. A second common symptom is intermittent gear slipping under moderate load, particularly in WG130 units, as the filter starves the torque converter of adequate pressure. Third, erratic shift quality with harsh upshifts may occur when debris bypasses a torn screen. Finally, persistent low transmission oil pressure warnings on the dash often trace back to a blocked screen filter, especially in high-hour WG100 applications.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This screen filter is engineered for the ZF WG series powershift transmissions. Confirmed compatibility includes the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models commonly found in industrial forklifts, telehandlers, and airport ground support equipment. It also fits select WG180 and WG200 variants where the oil sump screen assembly shares the same mounting flange. Always verify the filter housing condition when replacing; the 4143101009: HOUSING and 4143301025: HOUSING are common companion parts that should be inspected for cracks or distortion. The 4475280018: SCREW PLUG securing the filter cavity should also be replaced if threads are damaged.
