Overview
The ZF 6073.017.208 is a precision-engineered OEM genuine component specifically designed for the WG 160 Series transmission. This part functions as a critical control or sealing element within the valve body or hydraulic actuation circuit, directly influencing shift quality and pressure regulation. The SKU 6073.017.208 ensures exact OEM tolerances for reliable operation in heavy-duty applications. When installed alongside the 4656101074: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, it forms a sealed assembly that prevents cross-contamination between hydraulic circuits.
Symptoms of Failure
- Erratic or delayed gear engagement — When the 6073.017.208 wears, hydraulic pressure drops, causing hesitation when shifting from Neutral to Drive or Reverse.
- Intermittent transmission slipping under load — A worn part allows internal leakage, leading to clutch pack slippage during acceleration or hill climbing.
- Visible hydraulic fluid seepage — Deterioration of sealing surfaces results in oil weeping around the valve body or housing mating points.
- Harsh or flared shifts — Inconsistent pressure modulation causes abrupt gear changes or prolonged shift overlap.

Compatibility
This genuine ZF part is primarily engineered for the WG 160 series transmission. It is also compatible with the WG 180 and WG 200 series models that share the same valve body architecture. The component integrates directly with the 4656201085: HOUS.FRONT SECT and the 4656201091: HOUSING REAR PART to maintain structural integrity. For complete rear sealing, the 4656298058: HOUSING REAR SECTION is also required. Always verify your transmission model code before ordering.
