ZF 4644.201.010 COVER PLATE for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4644.201.010 COVER PLATE is a critical sealing and structural component engineered for the WG 200 series transmission family. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 4644.201.010, mounts directly to the rear of the transmission housing to enclose the hydraulic control unit and torque converter cavity. By forming a precise barrier against contaminants and fluid loss, this cover plate ensures consistent internal pressure and protects sensitive valve body components from debris ingress. It interfaces directly with the 4644101164 TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the 4644301371 TRANSMISSION HOUSING, making it an indispensable element of the drivetrain assembly.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4644.201.010 cover plate degrades, operators typically encounter these specific failure indicators:

• Hydraulic fluid seepage at the rear bell housing: A worn gasket or warped plate allows ATF to escape, leaving visible drips under the vehicle after shutdown.
• Erratic shift timing or delayed engagement: Loss of internal pressure due to a compromised seal causes the transmission to hesitate when shifting between forward and reverse gears.
• Contaminated transmission fluid: Cracks in the cover plate permit dirt and moisture to enter the system, leading to sludge buildup and premature clutch wear.
• Audible rattling from the torque converter area: A loose or improperly torqued cover plate vibrates against the 0730365067 TYPE PLATE, producing a metallic noise during acceleration.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This cover plate is specifically designed for the WG 200 series transmission architecture. It is directly compatible with the following ZF models:
