ZF 16 AS 2601 2004 Parts Catalog

If you work on ZF heavy-duty automatics, you already know the frustration of hunting down a bearing or a seal by guesswork. One wrong part number and the transmission sits open on the bench an extra day. This ZF 16 AS 2601 2004 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued parts list – 39 pages of exploded views, item numbers, and ZF part numbers that match the original build. No aftermarket cross-references, no “equivalent” guesses. The CD-ROM ELCAT 1/2004 data tells you exactly what went in from the factory.

The first sheet alone (page 2 of the PDF) lists the ZF parts list no. 1328 030 019, the customer IVECO-M, and the drawing number. You get the technical information sheet that shows oil capacity ex works – 12.0 liters (12.7 quarts) – and the oil grade TE-ML02L. That’s not a suggestion; it’s the spec the transmission was filled with. If you’re overhauling or ordering seals, you need the original ZF part numbers from this catalog, not a cross-list from a third-party site. Aftermarket documentation will steer you wrong on the 16 AS 2601 – I’ve seen it happen.

ZF Parts List No. 1328 030 019

Every transmission has a unique parts list number. For the 16 AS 2601 built for IVECO-M, the catalog uses 1328 030 019 (also referenced as 1328 001 031). ZF Friedrichshafen AG printed this catalog in 2004 specifically for that build configuration. The second page identifies the customer (IVECO-M), the country (D, Germany), the city (Ulm), and even the customer spec number. That level of traceability matters when you’re ordering components for a transmission that may have been installed in a Euro truck or industrial machine. Page 3 gives you the figure breakdown: figure 105.A1.01 for the 16 AS TD/TO assembly and figure 105.C5.01 for the GS 3 16G*IVECO*OD overdrive. Each figure corresponds to an exploded diagram in the PDF. You don’t have to flip through a paper book – the CD-ROM scan gives you the exact OEM layout.

Oil Capacity: 12.0 Liters Specified

The technical information sheet on page 2 lists the ex-works oil fill: exactly 12.0 liters of gear oil meeting ZF specification TE-ML02L. If you are refilling after a rebuild, that’s the baseline. The catalog also notes the mass of the complete unit – approximately 260.0 kg (573 pounds) – and the paint code (brown-red, ZFN 915W). These details are not fluff; they are production data. You need them to verify correct replacement components like the nameplate or paint for correct identification on a used unit. In a shop environment, specs like these cut down on the back-and-forth with parts suppliers.

Why Does a 2004 Catalog Still Matter?

Because ZF part numbers don’t change on a whim. If you have a 16 AS 2601 transmission from that era, the parts list 1328 030 019 is the only document that gives you the original item numbers. Aftermarket parts catalogs often combine multiple supersessions into one generic line, which leads to ordering a synchronizer or a bearing that has the wrong dimensions. I’ve seen guys bolt in a part that looked identical but had a different oil groove pattern – seized the planetary in 500 miles. Stick with the factory source. This catalog covers the TD/TO and GS 3 configurations; if you need the later 2005 update, look at the ZF 16 AS 2601 2005 Parts Catalog for any revisions. For related models, the ZF 16S151 ECOSPLIT III & 16S151 R 2007 Parts Catalog and ZF 16S221 ECOSPLIT III 1316 2007 Parts Catalog OEM Specs are also factory-original documents.

39 Pages of OEM Data – No Interpretation Needed

Every page in this PDF is a direct reproduction of the ZF ELCAT CD-ROM from 1/2004. The figures are labeled with item numbers that match the ZF parts list. You get the technical information sheet (page 2), the summary of figures (page 3), and then the individual figure sheets starting at page 4 for figure 105.A1.01 and page 5 for figure 105.C5.01. The catalog does not include repair procedures or torque specs – it’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. But if you are rebuilding or sourcing components, you need this. Pair it with the ZF service manual for torque values and assembly steps. For background on how these transmissions fit into the broader Automotive Industry Overview, check industry resources. And if you are replacing the starter or battery wiring, see the Automotive Battery guide for electrical specs.

Read the Technical Information Sheet First

Before you open a figure, look at the technical information sheet (page 2). It lists the assembly instructions note: “ENGAGE HIGH GEAR AFTER FUNC.TEST” and the inspection program number 6009 374 277 (16G.OD). That’s a critical step – if you’re testing the transmission after a rebuild, you need to verify the high gear engagement per ZF’s own test procedure. The oil grade TE-ML02L is also there. Ignoring that will kill the synchronizers. The sheet also gives you the preservation code (KA1 T/KI2/S21) so you know how the unit was stored ex-works. This is the kind of data aftermarket copies strip out.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Catalog

DIY mechanics tackling a junkyard 16 AS 2601 swap need the parts numbers to order missing brackets, shifters, and seals. Home garage enthusiasts pulling a transmission from a truck need to confirm the exact part number before buying a $200 clutch pack. Beginners should be cautious – this catalog is dense with German part numbering. But if you take your time and match the figure numbers, you’ll end up with the correct parts. Professional shops: keep this as your baseline. When the customer’s IVECO-M transmission has a failure, you pull the parts list and order from ZF directly, not from a rebranded kit.

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog – exploded views and item numbers only. Torque specs are in the ZF service manual. Order both.

How do I find the correct figure for my transmission configuration?

Look at the summary of figures on page 3. It lists figure 105.A1.01 for the main 16 AS TD/TO assembly and figure 105.C5.01 for the GS 3 overdrive unit. The parts list number 1328 030 019 matches IVECO-M builds. If your transmission has a different customer code, you may need the specific catalog for that pool. Check the CD-ROM label – ZF ELCAT 1/2004. The figures also include mod numbers like mod. no. that tell you the exact revision. Compare your transmission’s serial number to the ZF plate before ordering. I’ve seen guys order parts from figure 105.A1.01 when they actually had a 105.A1.02 update – different oil channels. Verify the drawing number on the transmission nameplate. If you can’t read it, call ZF with the serial. This catalog is only for the 16 AS 2601 with parts list 1328 030 019, not for other 16 AS variants like the 16S151 or 16S221. Those have separate catalogs (see related links above).

You need factory data to get the job done without returning parts. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. The 39 pages of OEM parts breakdown will save you from buying mismatched bearings and syncros. Stop wasting time with aftermarket cross-references – get the exact ZF part numbers from the original 2004 catalog.
