Overview
The ZF 4657.055.115 5 WG 210 Powershift Transmission Assembly | Complete Unit is a fully integrated drop-in replacement for heavy-duty powershift applications. This complete assembly serves as the central power transfer hub, managing torque distribution across five forward gears in ZF’s WG 210 series. The SKU 4657.055.115 denotes a factory-matched unit that includes the main gear cluster, clutch packs, and hydraulic valve body. When installing this assembly, ensure the 4657101082: TRANSMISSION HOUSING is inspected for cracks, as the housing provides the structural foundation for the entire unit.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic gear engagement or slipping under load – Worn clutch packs inside the assembly cause delayed shifts or complete loss of drive in specific gears.
- Hydraulic oil leaks at the bell housing seam – Degraded seals between the transmission housing and front section allow pressurized ATF to escape, leaving puddles under the vehicle.
- Metallic grinding noise during gear changes – Damaged planetary gears or bearing races produce a distinct whine that worsens with RPM.
- Intermittent neutral condition – The transmission randomly drops into neutral due to internal valve body wear or a cracked 4657201166: HOUS.FRONT SECT.

Compatibility
This complete unit is engineered for the WG 210 series but shares mounting patterns with the WG180 and WG200 families. It directly replaces units in ZF 5WG-210, 5WG-200, and 5WG-180 transmissions used in loaders, graders, and industrial tractors. The assembly mates with the 4657201170: HOUSING REAR PART and the 4657298102: HOUSING REAR SECTION to complete the driveline enclosure. Always verify bell housing bolt patterns before installation.
