Overview
The ZF 4644.152.413 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component engineered specifically for the WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions. Positioned within the hydraulic control assembly, this OEM genuine part manages the engagement and disengagement of gear sets by directing oil pressure to the appropriate clutch packs. As a direct replacement for the original equipment, the SKU 4644.152.413 ensures precise shift timing and consistent power delivery under heavy industrial loads. When paired with a robust TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this clutch maintains the structural integrity required for high-torque applications in construction and agricultural machinery.
Symptoms of Failure
- Delayed or harsh gear engagement: A worn 4644.152.413 clutch often causes a noticeable lag when shifting from neutral to drive, or produces a jarring engagement that worsens over time.
- Transmission oil leaks near the clutch housing: Degraded seals within the clutch assembly can lead to fluid seepage, often visible around the mating surface with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING.
- Slipping under load: When the clutch fails to hold pressure, the transmission may momentarily lose power during uphill climbs or under heavy payloads, accompanied by a rise in RPM without corresponding speed.
- Burning smell or discolored fluid: Excessive friction from a failing clutch generates heat, causing transmission fluid to darken and emit a distinct burnt odor.

Compatibility
This clutch is designed for ZF WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions, commonly found in the WG 201 category. It directly replaces the original clutch in WG180, WG200, and WG201 models used in telehandlers, wheel loaders, and dump trucks. For complete assembly, ensure the SEALING RING is replaced simultaneously to prevent fluid bypass. The 4644.152.413 is not compatible with older WG 120 series without adapter modifications.
