ZF 4616.101.116 TRANSMISSION HOUSING for WG65 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4616.101.116 TRANSMISSION HOUSING is a critical structural component designed specifically for the WG 65 Series of heavy-duty transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary enclosure that houses the gear sets, shafts, and valve body, ensuring precise alignment and protection from external contaminants. The housing absorbs significant torsional loads and thermal expansion during operation. When searching for a replacement, always reference the SKU 4616.101.116 to guarantee a direct fit. This housing is often secured using a 0636011118 HEXAGON SCREW and paired with a 4616301307 HOUSING for complete assembly integrity.

Symptoms of Failure

• External oil seepage around the bell housing: Cracks or porosity in the casting lead to fluid loss, often noticed as drips after the vehicle sits overnight.
• Persistent gear engagement noise: A worn housing can distort under load, causing misalignment between the input shaft and the 4616301309 HOUSING, resulting in a whining or grinding sound during shifts.
• Recurring torque converter seal failure: A warped housing face prevents proper sealing, causing premature wear on the seal and repeated fluid contamination.
• Vibration during acceleration: Structural fatigue in the housing reduces damping capacity, transmitting excessive vibration through the driveline.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This transmission housing is engineered for the WG 65 Series but shares mounting patterns with several ZF off-highway models. It is compatible with the WG 180, WG 200, and WG 250 transmissions used in construction and agricultural machinery. The housing interfaces directly with the WG 65 torque converter assembly and requires a 0636011118 HEXAGON SCREW for secure fastening. Always verify the serial number on your existing unit before ordering.
