ZF 0730.103.255 ADJUSTMENT PLATE for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.103.255 ADJUSTMENT PLATE is a precision-machined shim component engineered for the WG200 series transmission family. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 0730.103.255, sits between the output flange assembly and the transmission housing to establish critical axial clearance. By controlling end-play tolerances, this adjustment plate ensures correct gear mesh alignment and prevents premature bearing wear. It is a non-serviceable wear item that must be replaced during any major overhaul of the WG200 gearbox.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 0730.103.255 adjustment plate wears beyond specification, operators typically notice these failure indicators:

• Excessive axial play in the output shaft – A loose or clunking sensation when shifting between forward and reverse gears, often described as “gear lash.”
• Oil leaks from the output flange seal area – Worn adjustment plates allow the output flange to shift, breaking the seal integrity and causing fluid seepage around the 4644303547 OUTPUT FLANGE.
• Vibration during high-torque operation – Misalignment from a degraded plate creates harmonic vibrations that resonate through the driveline, especially under load.
• Premature bearing noise – A whining or growling sound from the transmission housing indicates the plate is no longer maintaining proper bearing preload.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This adjustment plate is specifically designed for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is a direct replacement for OEM part 0730.103.255 and is used in conjunction with the 4644105417 DISCONNECTION assembly and the 4644101121 TRANSMISSION HOUSING. For dual-output configurations, it also mates with the 4644303012 OUTPUT FLANGE. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.
