ZF 4460.308.130 SLIDING PAD for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.308.130 SLIDING PAD is a critical wear component engineered specifically for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part functions as a low-friction bearing surface within the shift mechanism, reducing metal-on-metal contact during gear engagement. Positioned directly on the shift rail assembly, the sliding pad ensures smooth axial movement of the selector forks. The SKU 4460.308.130 is precision-machined to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing consistent hydraulic pressure distribution and preventing premature wear to adjacent components like the 4460165051 CONSOLE and the 4460368311 CONSOLE.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hard shifting or gear engagement delay – When the sliding pad wears down, the shift fork loses its precise guide path, causing sluggish or notchy gear changes.
• Metallic grinding noise during gear selection – A worn pad allows metal shift rails to contact the console directly, producing audible scraping sounds.
• Transmission oil contamination with metallic debris – As the pad erodes, fine metal particles circulate through the hydraulic system, accelerating wear on the 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365 WASHER assemblies.
• Intermittent gear slipping under load – A degraded sliding pad fails to maintain proper fork alignment, leading to partial clutch pack engagement and torque loss.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This sliding pad is designed for the ZF WG 200 Series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is also compatible with select ZF Ecomat 4HP and 5HP variants that share the same shift rail architecture. Always verify your transmission model code before installation. The pad works in conjunction with the 4460068159 AXLE DRIVE and 4460168651 INPUT FLANGE to maintain driveline integrity.
