ZF 5838.300.506 LUBRICATION TUBE | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 5838.300.506 LUBRICATION TUBE is a critical OEM genuine component engineered to deliver pressurized oil precisely to the planetary gear sets and clutch packs within heavy-duty ZF transmissions. Positioned inside the main transmission housing, this precision-formed tube ensures a continuous flow of lubricant to high-friction zones, preventing metal-to-metal contact and thermal degradation. As a factory-specified replacement, the SKU 5838.300.506 guarantees exact fitment and flow characteristics, directly supporting the longevity of adjacent drivetrain elements such as the 5838109007 DIFFERENTIAL and the 2095209019 DIFFERENTIAL assembly.

Symptoms of Failure

• Visible oil leaks near the transmission bell housing: A cracked or corroded lubrication tube will cause pressurized oil to escape, leading to low fluid levels and external wet spots.
• Gear slipping under load: Insufficient lubrication to clutch packs results in erratic engagement, particularly during high-torque operations in construction machinery.
• Overheating transmission fluid: A blocked or deformed tube restricts oil flow, causing the transmission to run hotter than normal and triggering thermal warnings.
• Whining or grinding noises from the differential area: Starvation of oil to the 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING and planetary gears produces audible distress signals during operation.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This lubrication tube is designed for ZF powershift transmissions commonly used in construction and agricultural machinery. Based on its part number series and application, it is compatible with the following ZF transmission models:

• ZF WG180
• ZF WG200
• ZF WG210
• ZF 4WG-200
• ZF 4WG-210

Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering. The tube works in conjunction with the 0631329086 SPRING PIN to secure it within the valve body channel.
