Overview
The ZF 4460.308.086 SLIDING PAD is a critical wear component engineered specifically for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part acts as a low-friction interface between the shift fork and the synchronizer hub, ensuring precise gear engagement and smooth load transfer during operation. Positioned within the transmission’s mechanical shift assembly, the sliding pad reduces metal-on-metal contact, thereby extending the service life of surrounding components. The SKU 4460.308.086 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
Symptoms of Failure
When the ZF 4460.308.086 SLIDING PAD wears beyond specification, operators may notice the following failure indicators:
- Hard shifting or gear clash: A worn pad prevents smooth fork movement, causing grinding noises during gear changes.
- Intermittent gear slipping: Reduced pad thickness allows the fork to lose proper contact, leading to power loss under load.
- Metallic debris in transmission oil: As the pad degrades, fine particles contaminate the lubricant, accelerating wear on adjacent parts.
- Increased shift lever vibration: Excessive clearance in the fork assembly transmits abnormal feedback through the driveline.

Compatibility
This sliding pad is primarily designed for the ZF WG 200 Series transmission family, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It also fits select variants of the ZF 4WG-200 and 5WG-200 off-highway transmissions used in construction and agricultural machinery. Always verify your transmission’s serial number against the OEM parts catalog to ensure correct application.
Related Components
During installation, it is recommended to inspect and replace associated hardware. The sliding pad works in conjunction with the 4460165051 CONSOLE and the 4460368311 CONSOLE, which provide structural support for the shift mechanism. Secure the assembly using the 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW and the 0730100365 WASHER to maintain correct torque specifications.
