ZF 0730.008.826 SHIM for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.008.826 SHIM is a precision-engineered adjustment component designed specifically for the WG 200 series transmission family. This OEM genuine shim controls axial play and ensures correct gear mesh alignment within the planetary gearset assembly. Installed between the 4460368311: CONSOLE and the output shaft housing, the 0730.008.826 maintains critical tolerances that prevent premature bearing wear. As a factory-specification shim, it guarantees exact thickness and hardness for reliable long-term performance in heavy-duty industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

• Excessive axial end-play in the output shaft — When the 0730.008.826 shim compresses or corrodes, measurable free play develops, causing driveline vibration during acceleration.
• Low-frequency gear whine under load — Worn shim thickness alters gear contact patterns, producing a distinct humming noise that worsens as transmission temperature rises.
• Intermittent oil seepage at the rear housing joint — A degraded shim allows the 4460165051: CONSOLE to shift, breaking the seal between mating surfaces and leading to slow fluid loss.
• Hard shifting between forward and reverse — Incorrect shim stack height prevents proper clutch pack engagement, creating delayed or harsh directional changes.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is engineered for the ZF WG200 series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It is also used in certain WG150 variants with planetary output configurations. The 0730.008.826 fits directly into the shim stack between the 0636011429: HEXAGON SCREW and the 0730100365: WASHER on the output shaft assembly. Always verify stack height using a dial indicator during rebuild; multiple shims may be combined to achieve the specified preload.
