ZF 4460.308.082 SLIDING PAD for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.308.082 SLIDING PAD is a critical wear component engineered specifically for the WG200 series transmission. This OEM genuine part functions as a low-friction interface element within the shift mechanism, reducing metal-on-metal contact during gear engagement. Positioned inside the transmission housing, the sliding pad ensures smooth axial movement of the shift fork assembly. The SKU 4460.308.082 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing precise fitment and long service life in heavy-duty industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4460.308.082 SLIDING PAD begins to wear out, operators typically notice these specific failure indicators:

• Gear engagement hesitation or grinding – A worn pad creates excessive play in the shift fork, leading to delayed or rough gear changes.
• Metallic rattling from the transmission housing – Loose clearance between the pad and its mating surface produces audible noise during idle or low-speed operation.
• Premature wear on the shift fork – A degraded sliding pad transfers abnormal stress to the fork, accelerating damage to adjacent components.
• Oil contamination with fine metallic particles – As the pad erodes, debris enters the transmission fluid, reducing overall system reliability.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This sliding pad is primarily designed for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It also fits select variants of the ZF 4WG-200 and 5WG-200 off-highway gearboxes. Always verify your transmission model code before ordering.
