ZF 2074.311.051 PIN for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2074.311.051 PIN is a precision-engineered locating and alignment component specifically designed for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 2074.311.051, serves as a critical dowel or guide pin within the transmission housing assembly. It ensures exact positioning between mating components, preventing lateral movement during high-torque operation. By maintaining strict alignment, this pin directly supports the structural integrity of the TRANSMISSION HOUSING and adjacent HOUSING sections, reducing stress on fasteners and gaskets.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 2074.311.051 pin wears or shears, operators may notice these specific failure indicators:

• Transmission housing misalignment: Difficulty re-seating the HOUSING during rebuilds, often accompanied by uneven bolt torque.
• Oil seepage at mating flanges: A worn pin allows micro-movement, breaking the seal between the COVER and main case, leading to slow leaks.
• Abnormal gear engagement noise: Misaligned housings cause gear train binding, producing a rhythmic clunking under load.
• Premature bearing wear: Without precise pin location, bearings experience uneven loading, accelerating failure.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This pin is engineered for the ZF WG-series powershift transmissions. Verified compatible models include:

• ZF WG100 (all variants)
• ZF WG130 (including WG130-1)
• ZF WG131 (standard and heavy-duty)
• ZF WG180 (limited application; verify housing type)
• ZF WG200 (when used with specific HOUSING castings)

Always cross-reference your transmission serial number to confirm fitment, as housing revisions may affect pin length requirements.

“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “ZF recommends replacing this pin whenever the transmission housing is disassembled. The press-fit tolerance degrades over time, and reused pins may not maintain proper alignment, leading to premature seal and bearing failure.”
