Overview
The ZF 4460.215.317 BEVEL GEAR SET is a critical power transfer component engineered specifically for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part sits at the heart of the final drive assembly, converting rotational power from the driveline into the precise torque needed for heavy-duty industrial applications. The SKU 4460.215.317 ensures a matched pair of bevel gears that maintain factory-specified tooth contact patterns and load distribution. When installed alongside the 4460115043 HOUSING, this gear set provides the foundational mesh for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Symptoms of Failure
- Whining or howling noise during acceleration: Worn bevel gear teeth create uneven contact, producing a distinct high-pitched sound that intensifies under load. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF transmission whining noise fix.”
- Vibration in the driveline at low speeds: As the gear set loses its precise tooth geometry, vibrations transmit through the 4469315012 AXLE DRIVE HOUSING, causing noticeable shuddering during turns or when starting from a stop.
- Metallic debris in transmission fluid: Flaking or pitting on gear surfaces releases fine metal particles into the oil, often detected during routine fluid changes. This symptom frequently accompanies “WG200 gear set failure” searches.
- Intermittent gear slipping under heavy load: Advanced wear reduces the gear set’s ability to maintain torque transfer, leading to momentary loss of drive power, especially when climbing grades or hauling maximum loads.

Compatibility
This bevel gear set is designed for the ZF WG 200 Series transmissions, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 variants used in off-highway vehicles, agricultural tractors, and construction equipment. It directly replaces OEM part 4460.215.317 in final drive assemblies. For proper installation, ensure the 0750117406 TAPER ROLLER BEARING and 0750117802 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING are inspected and replaced if necessary, as they support the gear set’s axial and radial loads. Always verify your transmission’s serial number against ZF’s compatibility chart before ordering.
