ZF 4699.260.042 BEVEL GEAR SET for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4699.260.042 BEVEL GEAR SET is a critical power transfer component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits within the gear train assembly, where it redirects rotational force at a precise angle to drive the output shaft. As a matched set, the bevel gears ensure smooth torque delivery and minimal backlash, directly influencing driveline efficiency. The SKU 4699.260.042 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit and long service life when replacing worn units.

Symptoms of Failure

• Whining or howling noise from the transmission housing: Worn bevel gear teeth create excessive gear mesh noise, especially during acceleration or deceleration.
• Vibration under load: As the gear set loses its precise tooth contact pattern, driveline vibrations become noticeable at highway speeds.
• Metal debris in transmission oil: Flaking or pitting on the bevel gear surfaces contaminates the lubricant, often visible during oil changes.
• Intermittent gear slipping or backlash: Excessive clearance between the bevel gear set leads to a clunking sensation when shifting between drive and reverse.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This bevel gear set is specifically designed for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions. It is also compatible with select WG180 and WG200 variants that share the same gear train architecture. Always verify your transmission model plate before ordering. For proper installation, ensure the 4699101086 HOUSING and 4699301223 HOUSING are free of cracks or wear. Secure the assembly using the 0636302022 SCREW PLUG and 0501319149 SCREW PLUG to prevent lubricant loss.
