ZF 6073.017.240 for WG190 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 6073.017.240 is a precision-engineered component specifically designed for the WG 190 series transmission. This OEM genuine part plays a critical role in managing hydraulic flow and pressure within the transmission’s valve body assembly, ensuring smooth gear engagement and consistent power delivery under heavy loads. The SKU 6073.017.240 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, making it a direct replacement for worn units in commercial and off-highway applications. When installed alongside the 4657101085: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this part contributes to the overall structural integrity and hydraulic sealing of the system.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 6073.017.240 begins to degrade, operators often notice specific performance issues. Look for these common failure indicators:

• Erratic shifting or gear slippage – Worn internal bores or spools cause inconsistent hydraulic pressure, leading to delayed or harsh shifts under load.
• Internal oil leaks – Damaged sealing surfaces allow transmission fluid to bypass, resulting in low pressure warnings or visible drips near the valve body area.
• Overheating during operation – Restricted fluid flow forces the transmission to work harder, generating excessive heat that can damage clutches and seals.
• Neutral creep or unintended engagement – A failing 6073.017.240 may fail to hold pressure, causing the vehicle to creep forward in neutral or engage gears without driver input.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This genuine ZF part is primarily engineered for the WG 190 series transmission, but it also fits select models in the WG180 and WG200 families due to shared valve body architecture. It is commonly used in ZF WG190, WG180, and WG200 transmissions found in heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. For proper installation, this component works in conjunction with the 4657201161: HOUS.FRONT SECT and the 4657201162: HOUSING REAR PART to maintain correct alignment and fluid routing. Additionally, the 4657298107: HOUSING REAR SECTION is often replaced simultaneously to ensure complete sealing integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if the 6073.017.240 needs replacement?
A: If you experience erratic shifting, internal leaks, or overheating in your WG190 transmission, inspect the valve body components. A worn 6073.017.240 often shows visible scoring or pitting on its sealing surfaces.

Q: Can I install this part without replacing the housing sections?
A: While possible, we recommend inspecting and replacing the HOUS.FRONT SECT and HOUSING REAR PART simultaneously to prevent future leaks from worn mating surfaces.

Q: Is this part compatible with ZF WG200 transmissions?
A: Yes, the 6073.017.240 is compatible with WG200 models that share the same valve body design. Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering.
