Overview
The ZF 6073.015.244 is a precision-engineered OEM genuine part designed specifically for the WG 160 Series transmission. This component serves as a critical interface within the gearbox assembly, ensuring proper alignment and secure mounting of internal rotating elements. As an integral part of the transmission’s structural integrity, the 6073.015.244 works in concert with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING to maintain concentricity and prevent unwanted axial movement. The SKU 6073.015.244 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a direct fit for WG160 applications without modification.
Symptoms of Failure
When the ZF 6073.015.244 begins to wear, operators often notice distinct operational issues. Oil seepage around the transmission case is a common early indicator, as compromised sealing surfaces allow lubricant to escape. Intermittent gear engagement difficulty may occur when this part loses its dimensional stability, causing misalignment between shafts. Vibration during load shifts becomes more pronounced as the component fatigues, particularly under heavy torque. Metallic debris in transmission fluid during routine sampling frequently points to degradation of this hardened steel element.

Compatibility
This OEM genuine part is primarily engineered for the ZF WG 160 Series transmission. It also demonstrates cross-compatibility with the WG 180 and WG 200 models where similar housing configurations exist. The 6073.015.244 interfaces directly with the HOUS.FRONT SECT and the HOUSING REAR PART, forming a sealed assembly that withstands high-pressure lubrication. For extended rebuilds, the HOUSING REAR SECTION may also require simultaneous replacement to ensure proper fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 6073.015.244 be reused during a transmission rebuild?
A: ZF recommends replacing this part during any major overhaul, as it undergoes stress cycling that can cause microscopic fatigue cracks. Reuse may lead to premature failure and contamination of the hydraulic system.
Q: What torque specification applies to fasteners securing this component?
A: For the cap screws (0636100817 and 0636100803) that retain this part, apply 45 Nm ± 3 Nm using a calibrated torque wrench. Always use new fasteners and apply thread locker compound.
Q: How does this part differ from the 4656298050 housing rear section?
A: The 6073.015.244 is an internal locating and sealing component, while the 4656298050 is the external structural housing that encloses the rear of the transmission. Both must be properly aligned for leak-free operation.
