Overview
The ZF 0750.116.108 BALL BEARING is a precision-engineered component designed to support rotating shafts within the planetary gear sets of ZF WG200, WG92, and WG98 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part reduces friction between the main shaft and the housing assembly, ensuring smooth torque transfer under heavy loads. The SKU 0750.116.108 is positioned inside the transmission’s intermediate plate, directly interfacing with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING to maintain concentric alignment. When paired with the RANGE SELECTOR, this bearing enables precise gear engagement across all forward and reverse ranges.
Symptoms of Failure
- Whining or grinding noise during gear shifts — A worn 0750.116.108 bearing produces a metallic scraping sound, particularly when the transmission is under load or during cold starts.
- Excessive axial shaft play — Degraded ball bearings allow the main shaft to move laterally, causing erratic shifting and delayed engagement in the WG200 series.
- Contaminated transmission fluid with metallic debris — Flaking bearing surfaces shed steel particles into the oil, which can clog the SUCTION TUBE and damage downstream components.
- Intermittent gear slipping under load — Loss of bearing preload reduces clamping force on clutch packs, leading to power loss during acceleration.

Compatibility
This ball bearing is engineered for the following ZF transmission models: WG180, WG200, WG92, and WG98 series. It is a direct replacement for the bearing located in the output shaft support of the HOUSING assembly. The 0750.116.108 also fits select variants of the WG210 and WG120 transmissions when used with the PERIPHERALS kit. Always verify the housing bore diameter and shaft journal dimensions before installation.
