ZF 4642.153.070 CLUTCH for WG 150 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4642.153.070 CLUTCH for WG 150 is a critical torque-transfer component engineered for the WG 150 Series powershift transmission. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 4642.153.070, sits within the clutch pack assembly and is responsible for engaging and disengaging power flow between the engine and the drivetrain. It ensures smooth gear shifts and reliable power delivery under heavy industrial loads. When paired with a robust TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4642101108) or a TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4642301208), this clutch maintains hydraulic pressure integrity and prevents premature wear in the WG 150 assembly.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh gear engagement: When the 4642.153.070 clutch wears, operators may notice a lag between shifting and actual gear engagement, or a jarring thud as the clutch grabs.
• Transmission oil leaks near the clutch housing: Deteriorated seals or friction material can cause fluid to escape, leading to low hydraulic pressure and erratic shifting.
• Slipping under load: A worn clutch fails to hold torque, causing the transmission to slip or rev higher than expected during acceleration or uphill operation.
• Burning smell or discolored fluid: Excessive friction from a failing clutch generates heat, producing a burnt odor and darkening the transmission oil.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is specifically designed for the ZF WG 150 Series transmission. It is also compatible with the WG 180 and WG 200 models when used in the same clutch pack configuration. The 4642.153.070 part is a direct replacement for OEM units in WG 150, WG 180, and WG 200 gearboxes found in forklifts, loaders, and agricultural machinery. Always verify the spline count and stack height against your existing assembly, especially when replacing alongside a TYPE PLATE (0730365125) or a GROOVED STUD (0631311009).
