Transmission Introduction
General Overview of the Transmission
The ZF power gearshift transmission is composed of the hydraulic torque converter and rear-mounted countershaft transmission with multi-sheet friction clutch. The SDLG 938L、948L wheel loader adopts the 4WG158 gearbox assembly ,the SDLG 958L、959、968 wheel loader adopts the 4WG200 gearbox assembly which can realize speed switching between 4 forward gears and 3 reverse gears. The SDLG G9190 grader adopts the 6WG200 gearbox assembly which can realize speed switching between 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears

Mechanical Principles of the Gears ofthe Transmission (4WG158/200)
1. First forward gear
Z0→ZV→ZV1→Z1→Z2→Z3→Z output
The solenoid valves M2, M3, M4 act and the transmission pressure oil flows into KVK1 clutch, thus respectively pushing the piston to move; pressing the interior friction lining out of the clutches and forming the transmission subassembly.
The power transmission route: Driving gear Z0→ forward gear input gear ZV→ forward gear clutch KV→ KV1 ring gear assembly ZV1→ first gear clutch K1→ gear Z1 of the first gear→ second gear combination gear Z2→ gear Z3 of the third gear→ output shaft gear Z output→ output shaft, as shown in Figure 2-5
Figure 2-5
2. Second forward gear
The solenoid valves M3 and M4 act and the transmission pressure oil flows into KVK2 clutch, thus respectively pushing the piston to move; pressing the interior friction lining out of the clutches and forming the transmission subassembly.
The power transmission route: Driving gear Z0→ forward gear input gear ZV→ forward gear clutch KV→ KV1 ring gear assembly ZV1→ KR2 ring gear assembly ZR2→ second gear clutch K2→ second gear combination gear Z2→ gear Z3 of the third gear→ output shaft gear Z output→ output shaft, as shown in Figure 2-6
Z0→ZV→ZV1→ZR2→Z2→Z3→Z output
Figure 2-6
3. Third forward gear
The solenoid valve M3 acts and the transmission pressure oil flows into KVK3 clutch, thus respectively pushing the piston to move; pressing the interior friction lining out of the clutches and forming the transmission subassembly.
The power transmission route: Driving gear Z0→ forward gear input gear ZV→ forward gear clutch KV→ KV1 ring gear assembly ZV1→ KV2 ring gear assembly ZR2→ K34 ring gear assembly Z34→ third gear clutch K3→ gear Z3 of the third gear→ output shaft gear Z output→ output shaft, as shown in Figure 2-7
Z0→ZV→ZV1→ZR2→Z34→Z3→Z output
