ZF 4460.308.094 SLIDING PAD for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.308.094 SLIDING PAD is a critical wear component engineered for the WG200 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part acts as a low-friction interface within the shift mechanism, ensuring smooth axial movement of the clutch pack or synchronizer assembly. Positioned directly on the shift rail or selector fork, the sliding pad reduces metal-on-metal contact and maintains precise gear engagement. The SKU 4460.308.094 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit and restoring factory performance in heavy-duty off-highway and industrial drivetrains.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4460.308.094 SLIDING PAD wears beyond its service limit, operators will notice distinct performance degradation. Look for these specific failure indicators:

• Hard shifting or gear engagement delay – The worn pad creates excessive play, causing the shift fork to bind or hesitate when selecting forward or reverse gears.
• Metallic grinding noise during gear changes – As the pad material erodes, steel-on-steel contact produces a distinct scraping sound, especially under load.
• Intermittent gear slippage – A degraded sliding pad cannot maintain consistent fork pressure, leading to partial disengagement of the clutch pack under torque.
• Increased transmission oil contamination – Abraded pad particles circulate through the hydraulic system, accelerating wear on valves and seals.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This sliding pad is specifically designed for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is a direct replacement for units used in ZF’s 4-speed and 6-speed powershift configurations found in wheel loaders, forklifts, and telehandlers. The part also fits select ZF 3WG and 4WG variants where the shift rail diameter matches the 18 mm pad width. Always verify your transmission serial number against the OEM parts catalog before installation.
