ZF 0501.331.564 OUTER CLUTCH DISK for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0501.331.564 OUTER CLUTCH DISK is a critical friction component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 automatic transmission series. Positioned within the clutch pack assembly, this OEM genuine part transmits torque from the engine to the planetary gearset by engaging and disengaging hydraulic pressure. The SKU 0501.331.564 ensures precise alignment with the transmission housing, which is secured by the 2094301036: HOUSING and the 2094298057: HOUSING. Without this disk, the clutch pack cannot modulate power flow, leading to immediate drivability loss.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh gear engagement: A worn outer clutch disk causes slipping during shifts, especially when accelerating from a stop. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF transmission slipping when hot.”
• Burning smell from transmission fluid: Friction material degradation generates excessive heat, producing a distinct burnt odor. This symptom often accompanies “clutch disk failure WG100.”
• Erratic shifting or loss of forward drive: As the disk loses its friction surface, hydraulic pressure cannot lock the clutch pack, resulting in intermittent power delivery. This is frequently searched as “ZF WG130 no forward gear.”
• Contaminated transmission fluid with metallic debris: Worn disk particles circulate through the system, damaging the 2094101012: TRANSMISSION HOUSING and other internal components.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This outer clutch disk is designed exclusively for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions. It is not interchangeable with WG180 or WG200 series due to differences in spline count and diameter. Always verify the part number 0501.331.564 against your transmission model tag. For proper sealing, pair this disk with the 0750111371: SHAFT SEAL and the 0634303085: O-RING to prevent fluid leaks. The 2094301030: GASKET ensures a leak-free interface between the housing and cover.
