ZF 0730.107.717 WASHER | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.107.717 WASHER is a precision-engineered OEM genuine component designed for heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This hardened steel washer functions as a critical thrust or shim element within the planetary gearset and clutch pack assemblies, ensuring correct axial clearance and load distribution. Specifically, it sits between rotating shafts and stationary housings to prevent metal-on-metal contact and maintain proper gear alignment. The SKU 0730.107.717 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a factory-spec fit that aftermarket alternatives often fail to replicate. When installed alongside the 2094104412: MAIN SHAFT and 2094304054: MAIN SHAFT, this washer forms part of a robust load-bearing interface that directly influences transmission longevity.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 0730.107.717 WASHER wears beyond its service limit, operators will notice distinct mechanical issues. Look for these specific failure indicators:

• Transmission oil leaks near the main shaft housing – A worn washer reduces sealing pressure, allowing ATF to seep past the shaft seal. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF transmission oil leak main shaft”.
• Gear slipping under load in forward gears – Insufficient washer thickness alters clutch pack clearances, causing delayed engagement or complete slippage during excavation or grading operations.
• Metallic grinding noise during gear changes – As the washer thins, the 2094106010: SHIFT SYSTEM components experience abnormal axial play, producing a distinct grinding sound.
• Vibration in the driveline at low RPM – Uneven washer wear creates imbalance in the rotating assembly, felt as a low-frequency shudder through the chassis.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This washer is a direct OEM replacement for ZF WG series powershift transmissions commonly found in wheel loaders, graders, and telehandlers. Based on its dimensions and application, the 0730.107.717 fits the following ZF models:

• ZF WG180 (all variants)
• ZF WG200 (series 2 and 3)
• ZF WG211 (early production)
• ZF 4WG-200 (torque converter models)

For proper installation, always pair this washer with a new 2094206001: GEARSHIFT SHAFT to ensure correct end-play tolerances.
