ZF 0730.002.263 SPACER WASHER for WG65 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.002.263 SPACER WASHER is a precision-engineered shim component designed for the WG 65 series transmission. This OEM genuine part sits between the planetary carrier and the output shaft assembly, maintaining critical axial clearance to ensure proper gear mesh and load distribution. The SKU 0730.002.263 is manufactured to exact ZF tolerances, preventing metal-on-metal contact that can lead to premature wear. When paired with the 4616105413 OUTPUT and the 4616203017 OUTPUT FLANGE, this spacer washer guarantees concentric alignment during high-torque operations.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks near the output flange: A worn spacer washer allows the 4616101117 TRANSMISSION HOUSING seal to shift, causing ATF seepage around the rear bearing area.
• Gear slipping under load: When the washer thickness degrades, axial play increases, leading to intermittent torque loss in 3rd and 4th gears.
• Metallic grinding noise during deceleration: Insufficient spacing causes the planetary gear set to contact the housing, producing a distinct scraping sound.
• Vibration at highway speeds: Uneven wear on the spacer washer creates imbalance in the output shaft assembly, felt as driveline shudder between 45-65 mph.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This spacer washer is a direct fit for the ZF WG65 series, including models WG65, WG80, WG90, WG120, WG150, WG180, and WG200. It is also compatible with the WG 65-1 through WG 65-5 variants. Always verify the 0636011038 HEXAGON SCREW torque specifications when reinstalling this component.
