ZF 4644.306.396 COVER for WG 180/WG 200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4644.306.396 COVER is a critical housing component designed specifically for the WG 180 and WG 200 transmission series. This OEM genuine part seals the differential assembly, protecting internal gears and bearings from contamination while maintaining proper oil pressure. As a structural interface, the cover mounts directly to the transmission housing and provides a precise mounting surface for the 5838109007: DIFFERENTIAL assembly. The SKU 4644.306.396 ensures exact fitment and material compatibility with ZF’s original engineering tolerances, preventing misalignment that could lead to premature wear of adjacent components.

Symptoms of Failure

• Transmission fluid seepage around the cover gasket: A worn or cracked 4644.306.396 COVER often results in visible oil leaks at the rear of the transmission, particularly after thermal cycling.
• Abnormal whining or grinding noises from the differential area: When the cover loses structural integrity, the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING may shift, causing metal-on-metal contact.
• Intermittent gear slipping under load: A compromised cover can allow the 2095209019: DIFFERENTIAL to move out of alignment, leading to inconsistent power delivery.
• Contaminated transmission fluid: Cracks in the cover permit debris ingress, accelerating wear on internal components like the 0631329086: SPRING PIN.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This cover is engineered for the ZF WG 180 and WG 200 series transmissions, commonly found in medium-duty trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. It directly interfaces with the differential housing and is compatible with all sub-variants of the WG 180 and WG 200 families. When replacing the cover, technicians should also inspect the 5838300817: THRUST WASHER and 5838300682: DIFFERENTIAL AXLE for wear, as these components share the same load path.
