Overview
The ZF 4657.183.182 LOOSE PARTS kit is a critical service component engineered specifically for the WG 210 series transmission. This genuine OEM assembly contains the necessary loose hardware and fasteners required to secure internal housing sections during a rebuild or major repair. Positioned at the interface between the main casing and the front/rear housing sections, this kit ensures proper clamping force and alignment of the transmission’s structural envelope. The SKU 4657.183.182 is a factory-sealed set that eliminates guesswork when replacing worn fasteners or missing hardware during a transmission overhaul.
Symptoms of Failure
When the components within the ZF 4657.183.182 LOOSE PARTS kit degrade or are improperly torqued, operators often notice transmission oil weeping from housing seams—a classic sign of compromised sealing pressure. Another frequent issue is abnormal gear engagement noise caused by micro-movement between the TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the HOUS.FRONT SECT. Technicians also report intermittent gear slipping under load as the loose hardware allows the HOUSING REAR PART to shift slightly, altering gear mesh. Finally, vibration at the bell housing can occur when the HOUSING REAR SECTION fasteners lose preload, leading to accelerated bearing wear.

Compatibility
This LOOSE PARTS kit is primarily designed for the ZF WG 210 series transmissions. Based on the part type and housing interface geometry, it is also compatible with the WG 200 and WG 180 series when used in conjunction with the correct housing components. The kit directly supports the mounting of the HOUS.FRONT SECT and HOUSING REAR PART to the main TRANSMISSION HOUSING. Always verify that the HOUSING REAR SECTION matches your specific transmission model before installation.
