ZF 4460.368.316 RING for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4460.368.316 RING is a precision-engineered sealing component designed for the WG200 series transmission. This OEM genuine part functions as a critical static seal within the hydraulic control unit, preventing fluid bypass between mating surfaces. Located in the valve body assembly, the ring ensures consistent oil pressure regulation for smooth gear engagement. The SKU 4460.368.316 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, using a specialized polymer compound that resists degradation from high-temperature transmission fluid. When installed alongside the 4460165051: CONSOLE and 4460368311: CONSOLE, this ring completes the hydraulic circuit necessary for proper clutch pack actuation.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed gear engagement when shifting from Neutral to Drive: A worn 4460.368.316 ring allows internal fluid leakage, reducing line pressure and causing a noticeable lag during initial acceleration.
• Erratic shifting under light throttle: As the ring loses its sealing integrity, the transmission may hunt between gears or exhibit harsh upshifts due to fluctuating hydraulic pressure.
• Visible oil seepage around the valve body cover: A compromised ring can permit ATF to escape past the mating flange, leaving wet spots on the transmission housing or drip marks on the ground.
• Transmission overheating during prolonged operation: Insufficient sealing forces the pump to work harder, generating excess heat that accelerates fluid breakdown and shortens component life.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This ring is engineered for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, specifically models WG180, WG200, and WG211. It is a direct replacement for the original seal found in the valve body assembly of these units. The part also fits select variants of the ZF Ecomat 4HP and 5HP series when used in conjunction with the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365: WASHER for proper torque retention. Always verify your transmission model code before installation to ensure correct fitment.
