Overview
This genuine ZF 0501.327.423 INNER CLUTCH DISK is a critical friction component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. Positioned within the clutch pack assembly, this OEM part transfers torque between rotating shafts during gear shifts, enabling smooth power delivery under heavy industrial loads. The SKU 0501.327.423 ensures precise engagement and disengagement of the clutch system, directly influencing driveline efficiency and operator control. When paired with a robust DIFFERENTIAL and a reliable TAPER ROLLER BEARING, this disk forms the backbone of a durable transmission rebuild.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic gear engagement or clutch slipping under load: Worn friction material on the 0501.327.423 disk reduces clamping force, causing the transmission to slip during acceleration or uphill travel.
- Delayed or harsh shifting: As the inner clutch disk loses its friction coefficient, hydraulic pressure struggles to lock the clutch pack, leading to jarring shifts or hesitation between gears.
- Metallic grinding noises from the bell housing: Excessive wear exposes the steel core, allowing metal-on-metal contact that produces audible grinding sounds during operation.
- Contaminated transmission fluid with dark particles: Degraded friction material sheds debris into the oil, often visible as dark specks on the dipstick or filter.

Compatibility
This inner clutch disk is specifically designed for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 powershift transmissions commonly found in construction loaders, forklifts, and agricultural tractors. It is also compatible with select WG180 and WG200 variants that share the same clutch pack architecture. Always verify the clutch stack height using a service manual before installation. For complete driveline restoration, consider replacing the DIFFERENTIAL and inspecting the DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING for cracks or warpage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reuse the old inner clutch disk if it looks slightly glazed?
A: No. Glazing indicates heat damage and reduced friction coefficient. Always replace the 0501.327.423 disk with a new OEM unit to prevent premature clutch failure.
Q: How do I know if this disk fits my WG130 transmission?
A: Check the clutch pack stack height in your service manual. The 0501.327.423 disk is standard for WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. For WG180 or WG200, measure the inner spline diameter to confirm compatibility.
Q: Should I replace the thrust washers when installing this disk?
A: Yes. Worn thrust washers like 5838300811 or 5838300753 can alter clutch clearance. Replace them simultaneously to ensure correct pack preload and long service life.
