Overview
The ZF 0501.213.997 PRESSURE REGULATOR is a precision-engineered hydraulic control component designed for the valve body assembly in ZF’s WG series powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine part modulates hydraulic pressure to ensure smooth clutch engagement and consistent gear shifts under varying load conditions. Located within the control unit housing, the regulator works in tandem with the 4646123011 CONTROL UNIT to maintain optimal line pressure. The SKU 0501.213.997 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing direct fitment and long service life in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic shifting or gear slipping under load: A worn pressure regulator causes inconsistent hydraulic pressure, leading to delayed or harsh shifts, particularly in WG260 and WG261 transmissions.
- Transmission overheating due to constant clutch slip: When the 0501.213.997 fails to maintain proper backpressure, clutches may drag, generating excessive heat and reducing fluid life.
- Oil leaks around the valve body or control housing: Degraded sealing surfaces on the regulator can allow ATF to bypass, often requiring replacement of the 0634316523 O-RING during installation.
- Low line pressure warnings or diagnostic fault codes: Electronic control units detect pressure deviations, triggering alarms that trace back to a faulty pressure regulator in the WG311 series.

Compatibility
This pressure regulator is a direct replacement for ZF WG series transmissions, including the WG94, WG160, WG190, WG191, WG210, WG211, WG230, WG260, WG261, WG310, and WG311 models. It is specifically calibrated for the WG260 and WG261 valve blocks but fits all listed series when used with the correct 0636115293 螺栓 and 0736300232 螺栓 for secure mounting. For WG311 applications, verify that the 4475280208 SCREW PLUG is torqued to specification to prevent cross-threading.
