Overview
The ZF 0730.002.349 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacer component designed for the WG200 and WG65 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits between the transmission housing and the output flange assembly, where it controls axial play and ensures correct gear mesh alignment. The SKU 0730.002.349 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, making it essential for maintaining proper bearing preload and preventing driveline vibration. When paired with the 4616105415: OUTPUT and the 4616303144: OUTPUT FLANGE, this shim guarantees that the rotating assembly remains within factory specifications.
Symptoms of Failure
- Excessive axial play at the output flange — When the 0730.002.349 shim wears or compresses beyond tolerance, you may notice noticeable movement in the output shaft, leading to “ZF transmission output flange wobble” during operation.
- Low-frequency driveline vibration — A worn shim allows the output shaft to shift under load, causing “ZF WG200 gearbox vibration at highway speeds” that resonates through the chassis.
- Premature bearing noise — Incorrect shim thickness forces bearings out of their optimal load zone, resulting in “ZF transmission whining noise on deceleration” as the tapered rollers lose preload.
- Oil seepage near the output seal — Misalignment from a degraded shim can distort the output seal lip, leading to “ZF WG65 oil leak at rear output flange” that requires immediate attention.

Compatibility
This shim is specifically engineered for ZF’s WG series powershift transmissions. It is a direct fit for the WG180, WG200, and WG65 models. The 0730.002.349 is also used in select WG150 and WG250 variants where the output shaft bearing pack requires the same 0.50 mm shim thickness. Always verify your transmission’s serial number against ZF’s parts catalog, as the 4616101094: TRANSMISSION HOUSING casting revision may dictate shim stack requirements. The shim is secured using the 0636011038: HEXAGON SCREW during final assembly.
