ZF 6002.305.972 SYNCHRO.BODY | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 6002.305.972 SYNCHRO.BODY is a precision-engineered internal component designed to facilitate smooth gear engagement within heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part functions as the carrier for the synchronizer rings and hubs, ensuring that gear speeds are synchronized before meshing, which reduces shift shock and wear on the drivetrain. Located within the transmission’s shift assembly, the 6002.305.972 synchro body directly interacts with the 2094104412: MAIN SHAFT and the 2094304054: MAIN SHAFT to maintain proper alignment during operation. As a genuine ZF component, it meets strict tolerances for durability in high-torque environments, making it a critical replacement for maintaining transmission integrity.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 6002.305.972 SYNCHRO.BODY wears out, operators may notice distinct operational issues. Common failure symptoms include:

• Grinding or clashing noises during gear shifts – A worn synchro body prevents proper speed matching, causing audible metal-on-metal contact.
• Hard shifting or gear lockout – The part’s worn surfaces can cause the shift system to bind, making it difficult to engage specific gears.
• Oil contamination from metallic debris – As the synchro body degrades, fine metal particles can enter the transmission fluid, leading to broader internal damage.
• Intermittent gear slippage under load – A compromised synchro body may fail to hold the gear in position, especially during heavy excavation or lifting operations.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This synchro body is engineered for use in ZF’s heavy-duty powershift transmissions commonly found in construction machinery. Based on its design and part numbering, the 6002.305.972 is compatible with the following ZF transmission models:

• ZF WG180
• ZF WG200
• ZF WG210
• ZF WG250

These transmissions are typically installed in wheel loaders, graders, and telescopic handlers. For precise fitment, always verify the synchro body’s compatibility with your specific transmission serial number. The part works in conjunction with the 2094106010: SHIFT SYSTEM and the 2094206001: GEARSHIFT SHAFT to ensure complete shift functionality.
