Overview
The ZF 6073.015.001 is an OEM genuine component specifically engineered for the WG 160 series transmission. This precision-machined part serves as a critical interface within the gearbox assembly, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution between rotating elements. As a factory-spec replacement, the SKU 6073.015.001 directly corresponds to the original equipment design, restoring factory tolerances and preventing premature wear on adjacent assemblies. It is typically positioned near the main shaft housing, where it interacts with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING to maintain structural integrity under high torque conditions.
Symptoms of Failure
- Oil seepage at the housing joint: When the 6073.015.001 degrades, you may notice fluid accumulation around the mating surface of the HOUS.FRONT SECT, indicating a compromised seal.
- Abnormal gear engagement noise: A worn part causes misalignment, leading to a distinct grinding or whining sound during shifts, especially under load.
- Vibration in neutral or drive: Excessive play in this component transmits vibration through the HOUSING REAR PART, noticeable in the cab or chassis.
- Intermittent gear slippage: As tolerances widen, the transmission may momentarily lose power transfer, particularly in higher gears.

Compatibility
This genuine ZF part is primarily designed for the WG 160 series, but it also fits select variants of the WG 180 and WG 200 transmissions where the housing architecture is shared. It is a direct replacement for units that utilize the HOUSING REAR SECTION configuration. Always verify your transmission model code before ordering, as retrofit applications may require additional seals or gaskets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 6073.015.001 be reused after a transmission overhaul?
No. This is a wear-critical component that should always be replaced with a new OEM part during any major rebuild to ensure proper alignment and avoid repeat failure.
Q: Does this part require special tools for installation?
Yes. A press-fit tool and torque wrench are recommended to seat the component evenly within the TRANSMISSION HOUSING without damaging the bore.
Q: How do I confirm this fits my WG 160 transmission?
Check the serial number plate on your gearbox. If the model code begins with “WG 160” and the housing casting matches the HOUSING REAR PART configuration, this part is compatible.
