Overview
The ZF 2095.371.052 DISC CARRIER is a critical rotating component within the clutch pack assembly of heavy-duty ZF powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine part functions as the structural hub that houses and drives the friction discs and steel plates, transmitting torque from the engine through the gear train to the output shaft. Designed for extreme cyclic loads in construction machinery, the disc carrier ensures precise alignment of the clutch discs under high-pressure hydraulic engagement. The SKU 2095.371.052 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit without modification. When paired with a compatible 5838109007: DIFFERENTIAL, this carrier forms the backbone of the transmission’s power flow path.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic gear engagement or slipping under load: A worn disc carrier can no longer maintain proper clamping force on the clutch pack, causing the transmission to slip when moving heavy loads.
- Metallic grinding noise during shifting: Excessive play in the carrier splines or bearing journals produces a distinct grinding sound, particularly when shifting between forward and reverse.
- Hydraulic fluid contamination with metal particles: As the carrier surface wears, microscopic steel debris enters the transmission oil, visible as glitter in the fluid during routine checks.
- Delayed or harsh clutch engagement: A warped or cracked carrier disrupts the hydraulic piston stroke, leading to unpredictable shift timing and increased operator fatigue.

Compatibility
This disc carrier is engineered for ZF’s WG series powershift transmissions commonly found in wheel loaders, telehandlers, and excavators. Based on its design and spline configuration, the 2095.371.052 is compatible with the following ZF models: WG180, WG200, WG211, and select variants of the WG310 series. It integrates directly with the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING for shaft support and the 2095209019: DIFFERENTIAL for final drive distribution. A 0631329086: SPRING PIN is used to secure the carrier to the clutch hub during assembly.
