Overview
The ZF 6057.018.364 CONTROL UNIT is a precision electronic module designed specifically for the WG210 series powershift transmission. This OEM genuine part governs hydraulic valve actuation, modulating clutch pressure and shift timing to ensure smooth gear engagement under heavy load. Mounted directly on the TRANSMISSION HOUSING, the control unit receives input from speed sensors and the vehicle ECU, converting signals into precise solenoid commands. The SKU 6057.018.364 is a direct factory replacement, eliminating the need for reprogramming or adapter harnesses in compatible ZF drivelines.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic shift hunting under load: When the control unit loses signal integrity, the transmission may randomly upshift or downshift during incline climbing or towing, often accompanied by a delayed throttle response.
- Intermittent neutral condition: A failing 6057.018.364 can cause the transmission to drop into neutral without warning, requiring a full key-cycle reset to regain drive. This is a common long-tail search query for WG210 operators.
- Harsh forward/reverse engagement: Worn internal relays produce a jarring clunk when shifting from park to drive or reverse, indicating the control unit is no longer modulating hydraulic pressure smoothly.
- No communication with diagnostic tools: If the control unit fails entirely, scan tools will report a “lost communication” fault with the TCM, and the transmission will default to a single limp-home gear.

Compatibility
This control unit is engineered for the ZF WG210 series, but cross-referencing OEM data confirms fitment with WG180, WG200, and WG211 variants when used with the correct HOUS.FRONT SECT adapter plate. It also integrates with the HOUSING REAR PART and the HOUSING REAR SECTION in split-case configurations. Always verify the transmission serial number prefix (WG210-xxx) before ordering to ensure the 6057.018.364 matches your valve body interface.
