Overview
The ZF 2095.298.026 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component engineered specifically for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part sits within the clutch pack assembly, where it modulates power flow between the engine and the drivetrain. The SKU 2095.298.026 ensures precise engagement and disengagement under high-load conditions, directly influencing shift quality and overall transmission longevity. When paired with a properly maintained 2095109016 DIFFERENTIAL, this clutch helps distribute torque evenly across the axle system.
Symptoms of Failure
- Delayed or harsh gear engagement: A worn 2095.298.026 clutch often causes noticeable hesitation or a jarring shift when moving from neutral to drive or reverse.
- Transmission fluid contamination: Friction material shedding from the clutch plate can turn the oil dark or produce a burnt smell, indicating internal wear.
- Torque converter shudder: As the clutch loses its grip, you may feel a vibration or shudder during acceleration, particularly at low speeds.
- Intermittent gear slipping under load: When climbing grades or hauling heavy loads, the transmission may momentarily lose power delivery due to clutch plate slippage.

Compatibility
This clutch is designed for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions commonly found in medium-duty trucks, buses, and off-highway equipment. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 series when used in specific clutch pack configurations. For complete driveline integrity, inspect the 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING and the 2095209037 DIFFERENTIAL during replacement. The 2095309059 DIFF.HOUSING should also be checked for cracks or warping when servicing this clutch.
