ZF 0730.005.848 SHIM for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.005.848 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacing component designed exclusively for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part ensures correct axial clearance between the planetary gear set and the housing, preventing metal-on-metal contact during high-torque operation. Installed within the clutch pack assembly, the shim compensates for manufacturing tolerances and thermal expansion. The SKU 0730.005.848 is laser-etched on the part for traceability. When paired with a 4460165051: CONSOLE or a 4460368311: CONSOLE, this shim stabilizes the output shaft alignment, reducing vibration under load.

Symptoms of Failure

• Intermittent gear slipping under load – Worn shims allow excessive end-play, causing the clutch packs to lose hydraulic pressure during acceleration.
• Low-frequency drivetrain rumble – A dull vibration at 40–60 km/h indicates the shim has compressed beyond tolerance, allowing gear teeth to clash.
• Oil seepage from the bell housing – Degraded shim material can shift the seal alignment, leading to ATF leaks around the input shaft.
• Delayed engagement from Park to Drive – Increased axial clearance from a collapsed shim forces the valve body to compensate, creating a 2–3 second shift lag.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is engineered for the ZF WG 200 Series, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 models. It fits both 4-speed and 5-speed variants used in medium-duty trucks and off-highway equipment. The 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and 0730100365: WASHER are required for proper installation, as they secure the shim against the sun gear hub. Always verify the transmission serial number before ordering; the 0730.005.848 supersedes earlier shim part 0730.005.847.
