Overview
The ZF 0730.005.847 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacer component designed for the WG 200 series of off-highway transmissions. This OEM genuine part sits between the transmission housing and the bearing assembly, where it controls axial play and ensures correct gear mesh alignment. The SKU 0730.005.847 is manufactured to exact ZF tolerances, making it essential for maintaining proper end float in the planetary gear sets. When installed correctly, this shim prevents unwanted movement that can lead to premature wear on adjacent components such as the 4460165051: CONSOLE and the 4460368311: CONSOLE.
Symptoms of Failure
- Transmission oil leaks from the output seal area — When the 0730.005.847 shim wears or compresses beyond specification, it allows the shaft to shift laterally, damaging the lip seal and causing fluid seepage.
- Gear slipping under load in forward or reverse — Incorrect shim thickness reduces clutch pack clearance, leading to delayed engagement and intermittent power loss during heavy operation.
- Metallic grinding noise during gear changes — Excessive axial play from a worn shim causes gear teeth to contact housing surfaces, producing a distinct scraping sound that worsens with transmission temperature.
- Vibration through the driveline at highway speeds — A collapsed shim alters the alignment of the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW fasteners, creating harmonic imbalance that transfers to the chassis.

Compatibility
This shim is specifically engineered for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 models used in construction and agricultural machinery. It also fits select WG150 variants with the same planetary carrier design. Always verify the stack height using a micrometer when replacing this part alongside the 0730100365: WASHER to ensure proper preload.
