ZF 4460.308.080 SLIDING PAD for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.308.080 SLIDING PAD is a critical wear component engineered for the WG200 series transmission. This OEM genuine part functions as a low-friction interface between the shift fork and the rotating clutch hub, ensuring precise axial movement during gear engagement. Positioned within the transmission’s mechanical shift assembly, the SKU 4460.308.080 reduces metal-on-metal contact, extending the service life of surrounding components. When paired with a 4460165051: CONSOLE or 4460368311: CONSOLE, this sliding pad maintains correct alignment under high-torque conditions.

Symptoms of Failure

• Erratic gear engagement or “clunking” shifts – A worn sliding pad creates excessive play in the shift fork, leading to delayed or harsh gear changes.
• Metallic grinding noise from the transmission housing – When the pad’s polymer layer degrades, steel-on-steel contact produces audible grinding during acceleration or deceleration.
• Oil contamination with fine debris – Abraded pad material circulates through the transmission fluid, often visible as dark particles on the dipstick or during drain intervals.
• Intermittent gear slippage under load – Insufficient pad thickness prevents the shift fork from fully engaging the clutch pack, causing power loss on inclines or under heavy payloads.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This sliding pad is primarily designed for the ZF WG200 series, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is also compatible with select ZF Ecolife and AS Tronic variants that share the same shift fork geometry. For proper installation, always use a 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365: WASHER to secure the pad to the shift rail. Verify fitment against your transmission’s serial number before ordering.
