ZF 0730.002.348 SHIM for WG200/WG65 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.002.348 SHIM is a precision-engineered adjustment component designed for the WG200 and WG65 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as a critical spacer within the planetary gearset assembly, ensuring correct axial clearance and load distribution between rotating elements. By maintaining precise tolerances, the 0730.002.348 shim prevents metal-to-metal contact and extends the service life of adjacent components. This shim is typically installed during rebuilds or when replacing the 4616105415: OUTPUT shaft assembly to restore factory-specified endplay.

Symptoms of Failure

• Excessive gear backlash or clunking during acceleration: A worn or incorrectly sized 0730.002.348 shim allows the output shaft to shift axially, creating audible play in the drivetrain.
• Premature bearing wear in the transmission housing: When this shim loses its thickness, thrust loads transfer directly to the 4616101094: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, causing scoring and overheating.
• Oil leaks from the output flange seal area: Axial movement from a degraded shim misaligns the 4616303144: OUTPUT FLANGE, breaking the seal and allowing fluid to escape.
• Vibration at highway speeds: Loss of shim integrity creates uneven load distribution, causing driveline oscillation that worsens over time.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is specifically engineered for ZF WG series transmissions with hydraulic retarder integration. It is a direct fit for the WG180, WG200, and WG65 models, as well as the WG210 variant used in heavy-duty off-highway applications. Always verify stack height when replacing the 0636011038: HEXAGON SCREW that secures the output flange, as torque specifications affect final clearance.
