ZF 4460.368.313 GEAR SHIFT HOUSING for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.368.313 GEAR SHIFT HOUSING is a critical OEM genuine component engineered for the WG 200 series transmission. This housing encloses and protects the shift mechanism, ensuring precise gear engagement and smooth operation under heavy-duty conditions. As the structural anchor for the shift linkage, it directly influences shift quality and drivetrain reliability. The SKU 4460.368.313 is machined to exact ZF tolerances, making it a direct replacement for worn or damaged units in commercial vehicle applications.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks around the shift tower: A cracked or warped gear shift housing allows transmission fluid to escape, leading to low oil levels and potential gear damage.
• Hard shifting or gear slipping: Worn housing bores or mounting points cause misalignment of the shift forks, resulting in difficult engagement or unexpected disengagement of gears.
• Excessive play in the shift lever: Degraded housing bushings or bolt holes create slop in the shift mechanism, making precise gear selection unreliable.
• Noise during gear changes: A compromised housing can transmit vibration or allow internal components to rattle, producing audible grinding or clunking sounds.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This gear shift housing is primarily designed for the ZF WG 200 series transmissions, including models such as the WG180, WG200, and WG210. It also fits select variants of the ZF Ecomid and Ecolite series that share the same shift housing architecture. Always verify your transmission model and serial number before installation. For related assembly components, consider the 4460165051 CONSOLE and the 4460368311 CONSOLE, which mount directly to this housing. Secure the unit using the 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW and the 0730100365 WASHER for proper clamping force.
