Overview
The ZF 6073.017.237 is a critical OEM genuine component engineered specifically for the WG 115 Series transmission. This part functions as a precision-machined internal guide and sealing element, ensuring correct oil flow and mechanical alignment within the gear train assembly. The SKU 6073.017.237 sits directly between the main housing and the clutch pack, where it maintains consistent hydraulic pressure during load shifts. When paired with the 4656201085: HOUS.FRONT SECT, this component forms the primary structural boundary for the forward lubrication circuit. Its failure directly compromises shift quality and can lead to cascading damage in adjacent assemblies.
Symptoms of Failure
- Intermittent gear slipping under load: When the 6073.017.237 loses its sealing integrity, hydraulic pressure drops, causing the transmission to slip between 3rd and 4th gear during uphill hauling.
- External oil seepage at the front housing joint: Worn sealing surfaces allow ATF to weep past the 0631306816: CYLINDRICAL PIN alignment point, leaving visible drips on the bell housing.
- Delayed engagement when shifting from Neutral to Drive: A degraded 6073.017.237 fails to build initial pressure quickly, resulting in a 2-3 second lag before the transmission engages.
- Metallic debris in the oil pan: As the part fractures, small aluminum fragments contaminate the fluid, often clogging the 4656301016: SCREEN SHEET filter element.

Compatibility
This genuine ZF part is designed for the WG 115 Series, but it also cross-fits several other ZF transmission models that share the same front housing architecture. Compatible transmissions include the WG 115, WG 120, WG 150, and WG 180 series. It is also suitable for select WG 200 variants manufactured after 2012. The part interfaces directly with the 4656301148: FIXING PLATE and is secured using the 0636100817: CAP SCREW to prevent axial movement during high-torque operation. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install the 6073.017.237 without replacing the fixing plate?
A: It is strongly recommended to replace the 4656301148: FIXING PLATE simultaneously, as the plate often develops stress cracks that can damage the new part within 500 operating hours.
Q: How do I identify a counterfeit 6073.017.237?
A: Genuine ZF parts have a laser-etched part number on the outer circumference and a matte finish. Counterfeits often have a glossy coating and missing chamfers on the inner bore.
Q: What torque specification applies to the cap screw securing this part?
A: Use 45 Nm for the 0636100817: CAP SCREW when mounting the fixing plate. Over-torquing can distort the sealing face of the 6073.017.237.
