Overview
The ZF 4681.301.016 SCREEN SHEET is a critical filtration component engineered for the BP210, BP230, WG190, and WG210 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 4681.301.016, sits within the oil sump or valve body assembly, where it captures metallic debris and particulate contaminants before they can circulate through the hydraulic system. By maintaining clean oil flow, this screen sheet protects precision-ground gears, clutch packs, and valve bores from abrasive wear. It is often replaced during a major overhaul alongside the TRANSMISSION HOUSING to ensure the entire oil circuit remains free of obstructions.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic shift quality or gear slipping: A clogged screen sheet restricts oil flow to the valve body, causing delayed or harsh engagements. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF transmission slipping after filter change.”
- Overheating transmission fluid: When the screen sheet becomes perforated or blocked, oil cannot circulate efficiently, leading to elevated sump temperatures and potential thermal damage.
- Visible debris in the oil pan: If the screen sheet tears, large particles bypass the filter, accumulating as sludge or metallic flakes in the pan. This symptom often triggers searches for “ZF BP210 metal shavings in oil.”
- Low line pressure at idle: A restricted screen sheet starves the pump, resulting in insufficient hydraulic pressure that triggers warning lights or limp-home mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should the 4681.301.016 screen sheet be replaced?
A: ZF recommends replacing this screen sheet every 1,000 operating hours or during any major transmission rebuild. If you observe metal debris in the oil, replace it immediately to prevent cascading damage.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this screen sheet?
A: No. The mesh is calibrated to a specific micron rating, and cleaning may distort the openings or leave embedded particles. Always install a new OEM genuine screen sheet to maintain proper filtration.
Q: Will this part fit a WG180 transmission?
A: Yes, the 4681.301.016 is compatible with WG180 models when used with the correct housing sections. Verify that your transmission uses the BP210/BP230 sump configuration or consult the HOUSING REAR SECTION for fitment confirmation.
