Overview
The ZF 0730.002.347 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacer component designed for the WG200 and WG65 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part ensures correct axial clearance and preload within the planetary gear set assembly, directly influencing gear mesh alignment and overall drivetrain efficiency. The SKU 0730.002.347 is installed between the 4616105415: OUTPUT shaft and the 4616101094: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, where it compensates for manufacturing tolerances. Without this shim, proper load distribution across the output flange cannot be maintained, leading to premature component wear.
Symptoms of Failure
- Oil leaks at the output flange interface – A worn or incorrectly seated 0730.002.347 shim allows the 4616303144: OUTPUT FLANGE to shift, breaking the seal and causing transmission fluid seepage.
- Gear slipping under load – Excessive axial play from a collapsed shim reduces clutch pack engagement pressure, resulting in intermittent power loss during acceleration.
- Metallic grinding noises from the rear housing – Insufficient clearance forces planetary gears to contact the housing wall, producing a distinct scraping sound during deceleration.
- Vibration through the driveline – Misalignment caused by a degraded shim creates harmonic oscillations that transfer to the vehicle chassis at highway speeds.

Compatibility
This shim is engineered for ZF WG series transmissions, specifically the WG180, WG200, and WG65 models. It is also used in select WG120 variants where the output shaft configuration matches the 62 mm inner diameter. Always verify the thickness requirement using the service manual, as multiple shim sizes (0.50 mm to 2.00 mm) are available for fine-tuning. The 0730.002.347 is secured using 0636011038: HEXAGON SCREW fasteners, which must be torqued to specification during reassembly.
