ZF 4651.353.018 BUSH for WG100 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4651.353.018 BUSH is a precision-engineered bearing sleeve designed for the WG 100 series transmission. This OEM genuine part serves as a critical wear surface within the gearbox, reducing friction between rotating shafts and stationary housings. Installed directly inside the TRANSMISSION HOUSING, it ensures proper shaft alignment and load distribution during high-torque operations. The SKU 4651.353.018 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, providing a durable interface that minimizes metal-to-metal contact and extends the service life of the entire transmission assembly.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks around the housing interface: A worn 4651.353.018 BUSH can cause seal misalignment, leading to transmission fluid seepage near the HOUSING connection points.
• Gear slipping under load: Excessive bushing wear increases shaft play, resulting in intermittent power loss or delayed engagement during acceleration.
• Metallic grinding noises: As the bushing deteriorates, metal particles may contaminate the oil, producing audible scraping sounds from the transmission sump.
• Vibration in neutral or drive: Worn bushings fail to dampen rotational forces, causing noticeable chassis vibration that worsens with RPM increases.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This bushing is specifically engineered for the ZF WG 100 series, including models such as WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is also compatible with select WG 90 variants when used with the correct O-RING and HOUSING components. Always verify fitment by cross-referencing your transmission serial number with the OEM parts catalog.
