ZF 4460.308.382 SLIDING PAD for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.308.382 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 sleeve, ensuring precise gear engagement and smooth load transfer during operation. Located within the transmission’s mechanical shift assembly, the sliding pad reduces metal-on-metal contact, thereby extending the service life of adjacent components. The SKU 4460.308.382 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

When the 4460.308.382 SLIDING PAD wears beyond specification, operators may notice several distinct failure indicators. Hard shifting or gear grinding during engagement is a primary symptom, as the worn pad no longer provides a smooth glide path. Metallic debris in the transmission oil often accompanies this wear, contaminating the hydraulic system. Another common sign is intermittent gear slippage under load, caused by insufficient fork pressure against the synchronizer. Finally, unusual shift lever vibration can occur, indicating the pad has lost its damping properties.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This sliding pad is primarily designed for the ZF WG 200 Series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is also compatible with certain variants of the ZF Ecomid and ZF Ecolite series that share the same shift mechanism architecture. Always verify the part number against your transmission’s serial number to ensure correct fitment.
