Overview
The ZF 4460.369.002 FLANGE is a critical driveline component engineered specifically for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary output interface, transferring rotational torque from the transmission housing to the propeller shaft. Positioned at the rear of the gearbox, the flange ensures a secure, vibration-free connection that maintains drivetrain integrity under heavy loads. The SKU 4460.369.002 is precision-machined to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a direct bolt-on replacement without modification. When installed alongside the 4460165051 CONSOLE and 4460368311 CONSOLE, this flange completes the output assembly for reliable power delivery.
Symptoms of Failure
- Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft: A worn 4460.369.002 flange often develops micro-cracks or seal surface wear, causing oil to drip from the rear of the transmission. This is a common search query for “ZF WG200 output flange oil leak.”
- Driveline vibration during acceleration: When the flange splines or bolt holes become elongated, the propeller shaft wobbles, producing a rhythmic shudder felt through the chassis at 30-50 mph.
- Clunking noise when shifting between drive and reverse: Excessive backlash in the flange-to-shaft connection creates a metallic “clunk” as torque direction changes, often misdiagnosed as a failing universal joint.
- Premature bearing wear in the transmission tail housing: A distorted flange transfers uneven loads to the output shaft bearing, leading to rumble noises and eventual bearing failure.

Compatibility
This 4460.369.002 flange is designed for the ZF WG 200 Series transmission family. It is a direct fit for the WG200 and WG180 models, as well as the WG210 variant found in medium-duty trucks and buses. The flange also cross-references to certain Ecomat 4HP and 6HP series where the output shaft configuration matches. Always verify the spline count and bolt pattern against your existing part. For proper installation, pair this flange with a new 0636011429 HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365 WASHER to ensure correct clamping force.
