ZF 2095.346.053 GEAR for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2095.346.053 GEAR is a precision-machined helical gear designed for the internal power flow path of the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 2095.346.053, sits within the countershaft assembly and directly transfers torque from the input shaft to the output differential cluster. When installed alongside a 5838109006: DIFFERENTIAL, it ensures synchronized rotation and minimal backlash under heavy load. The gear’s hardened tooth profile is engineered to withstand continuous high-torque applications in industrial material handling and agricultural machinery.

Symptoms of Failure

• Whining or howling noise during acceleration: Worn teeth on the 2095.346.053 gear create irregular contact patterns, producing a distinct high-pitched sound that intensifies under load.
• Intermittent gear slipping under load: As the gear surface degrades, it fails to maintain positive engagement with mating components, causing momentary power loss during uphill or loaded operation.
• Metallic debris in transmission oil: Flaking or pitting of the gear’s case-hardened surface sheds fine metal particles into the lubricant, often visible during oil changes.
• Vibration through the shift lever or chassis: Uneven wear on the gear’s helical flanks induces cyclic vibration that transmits through the driveline, worsening at specific RPM ranges.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This gear is engineered for the ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions, commonly found in forklifts, telehandlers, and compact loaders. It also serves as a direct replacement in certain WG180 and WG200 variants when used in conjunction with a 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING for proper axial support. For dual-differential configurations, pairing this gear with a 2095209037: DIFFERENTIAL and a 2095309059: DIFF.HOUSING ensures correct alignment and load distribution. Always verify your transmission’s serial number before ordering.
