Overview
The ZF 5838.200.115 CLUTCH SHAFT is a critical rotating component engineered specifically for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part transmits torque from the clutch assembly directly into the gear train, ensuring smooth power delivery and precise engagement. Positioned at the input of the transmission housing, the SKU 5838.200.115 interfaces directly with the 2093109006: DIFFERENTIAL to distribute rotational force to the axles. Manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, this clutch shaft guarantees minimal backlash and extended service life under heavy-duty industrial loads.
Symptoms of Failure
- Hard shifting or gear grinding: A worn clutch shaft spline causes misalignment, making gear engagement difficult and producing audible grinding noises during operation.
- Transmission oil leaks at the input seal: Excessive radial play in the shaft damages the input seal, leading to visible oil drips beneath the bell housing.
- Vibration during clutch engagement: A bent or fatigued shaft creates harmonic vibrations that intensify when the clutch pedal is released under load.
- Intermittent power loss under acceleration: Worn splines on the 5838.200.115 slip under torque, causing sudden drops in drive power without engine speed changes.

Compatibility
This clutch shaft is designed for ZF WG-series transmissions, specifically the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. It is also compatible with certain WG180 and WG200 variants that share the same input shaft architecture. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering. The 5838.200.115 works in conjunction with the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING which supports the shaft’s axial and radial loads. Additionally, the 2093209095: DIFFERENTIAL and the 2093309071: DIFF.HOUSING are direct assembly neighbors that must be inspected during clutch shaft replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 5838.200.115 clutch shaft be used in a WG180 transmission?
A: Yes, it is compatible with WG180 and WG200 models that share the same spline count and input shaft length. Verify your transmission’s bell housing depth before installation.
Q: What torque specification should I use for the retaining nut on this shaft?
A: ZF recommends 180 Nm for the main shaft nut. Always replace the lock washer and apply thread locker to prevent loosening under heavy load.
Q: How do I know if my clutch shaft splines are worn?
A: Inspect the spline teeth for a “shiny” or “peened” appearance. If the clutch disc hub rocks more than 0.5 mm on the shaft, replacement of the 5838.200.115 is required.
