ZF 4660.306.162 INTERMEDIATE SHEET for WG98 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4660.306.162 INTERMEDIATE SHEET is a precision-engineered component designed for the WG 98 Series transmission family. This OEM genuine part functions as a critical separator and guide within the clutch pack assembly, ensuring correct axial spacing and load distribution between rotating elements. Positioned between the drum and piston assemblies, the intermediate sheet prevents metal-to-metal contact and maintains hydraulic fluid flow paths. The SKU 4660.306.162 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit without modification. When paired with the 4950101004: HOUSING and the 4950301018: HOUSING I, this sheet forms a sealed chamber essential for proper clutch engagement.

Symptoms of Failure

• Delayed or harsh gear engagement — A worn intermediate sheet causes improper clutch pack clearance, leading to noticeable hesitation or jarring shifts during acceleration.
• Transmission fluid leaks near the bell housing — Cracks or warping in the sheet compromise the seal interface, allowing ATF to escape past the 0734309932: SHAFT SEAL.
• Intermittent gear slipping under load — As the sheet loses its dimensional stability, clutch packs fail to fully compress, resulting in power loss during uphill climbs or towing.
• Metallic debris in transmission fluid — Friction between the sheet and adjacent components generates fine steel particles, visible during routine fluid changes.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This intermediate sheet is specifically engineered for ZF WG 98 Series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It also fits select WG150 variants produced after 2012. The part is not interchangeable with earlier WG 80 series units. For proper installation, always replace the 4660101023: TRANSMISSION HOUSING gasket simultaneously to prevent fluid bypass.
