ZF 4651.152.005 CLUTCH for WG 100/WG 110 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4651.152.005 CLUTCH is a critical torque-transfer component engineered specifically for the WG 100 and WG 110 transmission series. Positioned within the clutch pack assembly, this OEM genuine part modulates power flow between the engine and gear train, ensuring smooth engagement and disengagement under heavy load conditions. The SKU 4651.152.005 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, utilizing high-friction materials to withstand thermal stress in industrial applications. This clutch directly interfaces with the 4651101007: TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the 4651301029: HOUSING, forming a sealed assembly that prevents contamination while maintaining hydraulic pressure.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed gear engagement or clutch shudder – Worn friction plates cause hesitation when shifting from neutral to drive, often accompanied by vibration during low-speed maneuvers.
• Transmission fluid overheating – A failing 4651.152.005 clutch generates excessive heat due to slippage, leading to burnt fluid odor and elevated temperature warnings on the dashboard.
• Intermittent power loss under load – When climbing grades or towing, the clutch may momentarily disengage, resulting in a sudden RPM spike without corresponding vehicle acceleration.
• Metallic grinding noises from the bell housing – Advanced wear exposes steel backing plates, producing a distinct scraping sound that worsens as the 0634303928: O-RING seal degrades and allows debris ingress.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is primarily designed for the ZF WG 100 and WG 110 series transmissions found in medium-duty trucks and construction equipment. Based on its friction plate geometry and spline count, it also fits the WG 180 and WG 200 models when used with the appropriate 4651301024: HOUSING adapter. The 4651.152.005 is not compatible with WG 250 or WG 300 series without modification to the clutch pack stack height. Always verify the clutch clearance using the correct shim set when replacing this component alongside the transmission housing assembly.
