Overview
The ZF 0730.005.851 WASHER for WG200 is an OEM genuine sealing component engineered for precise load distribution and leak prevention within the WG 200 series transmission assembly. This hardened steel washer sits between the 4460165051: CONSOLE and the output shaft housing, ensuring a tight, vibration-resistant interface. As a critical spacer, it maintains correct axial clearance during high-torque operations. The SKU 0730.005.851 is laser-etched for traceability, guaranteeing it meets ZF’s original manufacturing tolerances. Without this washer, the transmission’s internal pressure balance is compromised, leading to premature wear on adjacent components.
Symptoms of Failure
- Oil seepage around the output flange: A worn 0730.005.851 washer cannot maintain the seal, causing gradual ATF fluid loss that stains the transmission housing.
- Intermittent gear slippage under load: When the washer deforms, it alters the clamping force on the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW, allowing the shaft to shift slightly during acceleration.
- Metallic rattling from the bell housing: A collapsed washer creates excess axial play, causing the 4460368311: CONSOLE to vibrate against the casing at idle.
- Increased operating temperature: Fluid starvation from a leaking washer leads to friction buildup, often triggering thermal warning codes in electronic transmissions.

Compatibility
This washer is primarily designed for the ZF WG200 series, including WG180, WG200, and WG210 variants used in off-highway trucks and construction equipment. It also fits select ZF Ecolife and AS Tronic mid-range transmissions where the output shaft diameter matches 18 mm. Always verify the part number 0730.005.851 against your transmission’s parts manual, as the 4644305041: ADAPTER and 4460068159: AXLE DRIVE may require different washer thicknesses in later model years.
