Overview
The ZF 2094.259.028 DISC CARRIER is a critical internal component engineered for heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part functions as the primary hub that houses and positions the clutch disc packs within the planetary gearset, ensuring precise torque transfer and smooth gear engagement. Located inside the main transmission assembly, the disc carrier interfaces directly with the 2094101012: TRANSMISSION HOUSING to maintain correct axial alignment under extreme load conditions. The SKU 2094.259.028 is machined from high-tensile steel to withstand the cyclic stresses of earthmoving equipment, making it a non-negotiable component for maintaining drivetrain integrity.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic gear engagement or slipping: A worn disc carrier allows clutch packs to shift out of alignment, causing delayed or incomplete gear changes during operation.
- Metallic grinding noises from the transmission: Excessive play in the carrier leads to metal-on-metal contact between discs and the 2094301036: HOUSING, producing audible wear sounds.
- Transmission fluid contamination with debris: Fractured carrier splines shed metallic particles into the oil, visible during routine fluid changes.
- Reduced power transfer under load: A deformed carrier cannot maintain proper clutch pack pressure, resulting in torque loss when climbing grades or moving heavy materials.

Compatibility
This disc carrier is designed for ZF WG series powershift transmissions commonly used in wheel loaders, dozers, and graders. It is a direct fit for the following models: WG180, WG200, WG210, and WG240. The part also integrates with the 2094298057: HOUSING in older WG180 variants and requires the 2094301071: COVER for proper sealing in WG200 series units. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.
