Overview
The ZF 0730.102.468 SHIM is a precision-engineered adjustment component designed for the WG series of heavy-duty powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine shim sits between the TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the bearing assemblies to control axial play and preload within the gear train. By maintaining exacting clearances, the 0730.102.468 ensures optimal gear meshing and load distribution. The SKU 0730.102.468 is manufactured to ZF’s original factory tolerances, making it a direct replacement for worn or missing shims in WG65, WG150, WG180, WG200, and WG201 series transmissions.
Symptoms of Failure
When the 0730.102.468 shim wears or deforms, the following failure modes typically emerge:
- Excessive end-play in output shaft – noticeable axial movement at the flange, often accompanied by a thumping noise during direction changes.
- Intermittent gear slipping under load – the transmission loses torque momentarily when climbing or hauling heavy loads due to improper bearing preload.
- Oil leaks at the housing joint – degraded shim thickness can misalign the housing, breaking the seal created by the O-RING and SEALING RING.
- Vibration at specific RPM ranges – worn shims allow gear train harmonics to amplify, causing driveline shudder that worsens over time.

Compatibility
This shim is a direct fit for the following ZF transmission families: WG 65 Series, WG 150 Series, WG 180 Series, WG 200 Series, and WG 201 Series. It is installed in the output shaft bearing stack and is often replaced during a full overhaul alongside the HEXAGON SCREW (0636011038), HEXAGON SCREW (0636011118), and HEXAGON SCREW (0636016015) that secure the housing. Always verify the existing shim stack thickness before ordering; the 0730.102.468 is typically used in combination with other shims to achieve the specified end-play of 0.05–0.15 mm.
