ZF 4699.808.046 GK16 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4699.808.046 GK16 is a precision-engineered gear set assembly designed for the high-torque planetary sections of ZF heavy-duty transmissions. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 4699.808.046, functions as the primary power transfer component within the gear cluster, converting rotational input from the engine into controlled output for the driveline. It sits directly in the main shaft assembly of the transmission, working in concert with the 4699101093 HOUSING to maintain proper gear alignment and load distribution. As a critical wear item in construction machinery, this part ensures smooth shifting under extreme loads and sustained operational reliability.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4699.808.046 GK16 begins to fail, operators typically notice distinct performance degradation. Gear slipping under load is a primary indicator, often accompanied by a grinding noise during acceleration in construction equipment. Oil contamination with metallic debris in the transmission fluid signals advanced wear of the gear teeth. Intermittent loss of power transfer during uphill or heavy digging operations points to compromised gear engagement. Finally, vibration at specific RPM ranges suggests uneven tooth wear that can cascade into complete transmission failure if not addressed promptly.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This GK16 gear set is engineered for ZF WG-series transmissions commonly used in construction machinery. It is a direct fit for the WG180, WG200, and WG210 models, as well as the Ecomat 4HP series found in wheel loaders and excavators. The part also integrates with the 4699102140 INPUT shaft and the 4699103054 OUTPUT flange to complete the drivetrain assembly. For rebuilds, pairing this gear set with a new 4699008046 GK16 ensures matched wear patterns and extended service life.
