Overview
The ZF 0734.317.025 DOUBLE GROOVED RING is a precision-engineered sealing component designed for the WG200 series transmission. This OEM genuine part sits within the rotating assembly, functioning as a critical oil control ring that manages hydraulic pressure and lubricant flow between the gear train and the clutch pack. The SKU 0734.317.025 ensures exact fitment and material compatibility, preventing cross-contamination of transmission fluid circuits. When installed correctly with the 4460165051: CONSOLE and 4460368311: CONSOLE, this double grooved ring maintains the necessary seal integrity for sustained torque transfer in heavy-duty applications.
Symptoms of Failure
- Hydraulic pressure loss during gear shifts — A worn 0734.317.025 ring causes delayed engagement or soft shifts, especially under load, as fluid bypasses the intended channels.
- Transmission fluid leaks near the clutch housing — Deterioration of the double groove seal leads to external oil seepage, often mistaken for a gasket failure.
- Intermittent gear slipping at highway speeds — When the ring loses its dimensional integrity, the WG200 transmission may exhibit random slipping in higher gears due to insufficient clamping force.
- Increased operating temperature — A failing ring forces the transmission to work harder, generating excess heat that can be detected through diagnostic scan tools.

Compatibility
This double grooved ring is engineered for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 variants. It is a direct replacement for OEM assemblies requiring the 0734.317.025 seal. For proper installation, pair this ring with the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365: WASHER to secure the console assembly. The ring is also compatible with select ZF Ecomat and Ecolife models that share the same hydraulic circuit architecture, though always verify against your transmission’s parts manual.
