ZF 4660.176.013 CLUTCH for WG 92/WG 98 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4660.176.013 CLUTCH is a critical power transmission component engineered specifically for the WG 92 and WG 98 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary engagement mechanism, transferring torque from the engine to the gearbox while enabling smooth gear shifts under heavy load conditions. Positioned within the clutch housing assembly, the 4660.176.013 interfaces directly with the 4950101004: HOUSING and the 4950301018: HOUSING I to form a sealed, high-pressure hydraulic circuit. When the clutch pack wears, this SKU must be replaced to restore full clamping force and prevent internal slippage.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh engagement: When the 4660.176.013 clutch loses friction material, operators experience a noticeable lag between shifting and actual gear engagement, often accompanied by a jarring “clunk.”
• Transmission overheating under load: A worn clutch generates excessive heat due to continuous slipping, causing the transmission fluid to darken and the thermal warning light to activate.
• Oil leaks near the bell housing: Degraded clutch seals allow ATF to escape past the 0734309932: SHAFT SEAL, leaving visible drips on the undercarriage.
• Inability to hold gear on inclines: The clutch fails to maintain torque lockup, causing the vehicle to roll backward or lose speed when climbing steep grades.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This clutch is a direct fit for the ZF WG 92 and WG 98 transmission families. It is also compatible with the WG180, WG200, and WG210 series when used in conjunction with the 4660101023: TRANSMISSION HOUSING. For proper installation, always pair this part with the 4660301058: HOUSING and the 0631306174: CYLINDRICAL PIN to ensure correct alignment. The 4660.176.013 is not backward-compatible with older WG 80 series units without a full housing swap.
