Overview
The ZF 0501.332.240 OUTER CLUTCH DISK is a critical friction component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits within the clutch pack assembly, where it engages and disengages torque flow between planetary gear sets. By providing precise frictional grip, the disk ensures smooth power transfer during gear shifts. The SKU 0501.332.240 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing consistent clamping force and heat dissipation under heavy-duty industrial loads. When paired with a 2093109003: DIFFERENTIAL, this clutch disk helps maintain driveline synchronization in demanding applications.
Symptoms of Failure
- Delayed or harsh gear engagement – Worn friction material causes the clutch pack to slip before locking, resulting in a noticeable lag or jolt when shifting from neutral to drive.
- Transmission overheating – A degraded outer clutch disk generates excessive heat due to constant slipping, often triggering thermal warning lights or fluid degradation.
- Loss of power under load – When the disk fails to hold torque, the transmission may “flare” or momentarily lose drive force during acceleration, particularly on inclines.
- Metallic debris in oil pan – Advanced wear sheds friction particles that contaminate the hydraulic circuit, often found during routine fluid changes.

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 in the forward clutch pack. For optimal performance, always inspect the mating 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING and the 2093209096: DIFFERENTIAL during rebuilds. The 2093309073: DIFF.HOUSING should also be inspected for scoring or warping when replacing this disk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 0501.332.240 outer clutch disk be reused after a transmission overhaul?
A: No. ZF recommends replacing all friction disks during a rebuild. The sintered material wears progressively, and reusing a worn disk risks slipping, overheating, and premature failure of the entire clutch pack.
Q: How do I know if this disk fits my WG130 transmission?
A: Verify your transmission’s serial number and clutch pack count. The 0501.332.240 is used in the forward clutch assembly of WG130 units built after 2005. Always cross-reference with your parts catalog or consult the compatibility table above.
Q: What torque specification should I use when installing this disk?
A: The outer clutch disk itself does not require torque—it is a passive component. However, the retaining snap ring must be seated properly. For the clutch pack assembly, use ZF-specified torque values for the piston housing bolts (typically 45-55 Nm).
