ZF 4644.153.473 CLUTCH for WG 180/WG 200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4644.153.473 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component engineered specifically for the WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary engagement mechanism, managing the connection between the engine and the gearbox to ensure smooth power delivery under heavy-duty industrial loads. The SKU 4644.153.473 sits within the clutch pack assembly, directly interacting with the 4644105413: DISCONNECTION unit to facilitate precise gear shifts. When installed alongside the 4642303093: OUTPUT FLANGE, it maintains driveline integrity, while the 0636021010: HEXAGON SCREW secures the assembly within the 4644101222: TRANSMISSION HOUSING.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks near the clutch housing – Worn seals on the 4644.153.473 allow transmission fluid to escape, often visible as drips under the bell housing.
• Gear slipping under load – A failing clutch loses clamping force, causing the transmission to slip between gears, especially during acceleration or uphill operation.
• Delayed or harsh engagement – When the clutch disc wears unevenly, drivers experience a noticeable lag or jarring engagement when shifting from neutral to drive.
• Burning smell from overheated friction material – Excessive slippage generates heat, producing a distinct burnt odor from the transmission area.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is designed for ZF WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions, commonly found in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and heavy-duty trucks. It directly replaces OEM part 4644.153.473 and is compatible with models including WG180, WG200, WG180-1, and WG200-2. For proper installation, ensure the 4644301226: TRANSMISSION HOUSING is free of debris, and verify the 0730365067: TYPE PLATE matches your transmission serial number. The 0631311009: GROOVED STUD and 4644301298: COVER PLATE are often replaced simultaneously to prevent future leaks.
