ZF 4644.153.411 CLUTCH for WG 180/WG 200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4644.153.411 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component designed for the WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions. Positioned within the hydraulic control module, this OEM genuine part directly engages and disengages the driveline, ensuring smooth power delivery under heavy load conditions. The SKU 4644.153.411 is engineered to precise factory tolerances, working in concert with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4644101203) and the TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4644301382) to maintain correct alignment and hydraulic pressure. Without this clutch, the transmission cannot shift between forward and reverse gears effectively.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4644.153.411 clutch wears out, operators typically notice three distinct failure modes. First, delayed or harsh engagement occurs when shifting from neutral to drive, often accompanied by a noticeable clunk. Second, intermittent gear slippage under load becomes apparent during uphill climbs or when towing, as the clutch fails to hold torque. Third, hydraulic fluid contamination from worn friction material can cause erratic shifting patterns. Finally, low oil pressure warnings may appear on the dashboard if the clutch piston seals degrade, allowing fluid to bypass the assembly.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is specifically engineered for the ZF WG 180 and WG 200 transmission families. It is a direct fit for the WG 201 Series category, including models such as WG 180, WG 200, and WG 201. The part also integrates with the THREADED BUSH (4644301189) for secure mounting and the SCREW PLUG (0636302005) for sealing the hydraulic circuit. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering, as variations exist between early and late production units.
