Overview
The ZF 4143.151.016 MULTIDISK BRAKE is a critical friction component engineered for the HL 100 Series and HL 270 Series transmission assemblies. This OEM genuine part provides precise stopping torque and load-holding capability within the planetary gear set. The SKU 4143.151.016 functions as a wet brake pack, engaging multiple friction disks to manage rotational energy during gear shifts and stationary operations. It sits directly within the clutch housing drum, where it interacts with the 4143101025: HOUSING to contain hydraulic pressure and ensure consistent braking force. Without this multidisk brake, the transmission cannot maintain position under load or execute controlled deceleration.
Symptoms of Failure
- Delayed engagement or gear slipping under load: Worn friction disks cause the brake to lose clamping force, leading to hesitation when shifting into forward or reverse.
- Dark, burnt-smelling transmission fluid: Overheated multidisk material contaminates the oil, producing a distinct acrid odor and discoloration.
- Erratic holding on inclines: The vehicle rolls backward on slopes because the brake pack cannot sustain static torque, often accompanied by a grinding noise.
- Intermittent pressure loss in the brake circuit: Internal debris from a failing 4143.151.016 can clog passages, causing unpredictable braking behavior.

Compatibility
This multidisk brake is designed for ZF WG180, WG200, and WG210 series transmissions, as well as the HL 100 and HL 270 series. It is also found in certain off-highway models including the 4WG-180 and 4WG-200. The 4143.151.016 interfaces directly with the 4143301055: HOUSING and the 4143298040: CASE to form the complete brake assembly. A 0631329135: SPRING PIN secures the brake piston in position during installation. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.
