ZF 0730.109.162 SHIM | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.109.162 SHIM (SKU: 0730.109.162) is a precision-engineered OEM genuine component designed for critical axial clearance adjustment within ZF heavy-duty powershift transmissions. This shim sits between the 4108101127: HOUSING and the planetary gear assembly, ensuring correct preload on bearings and gear sets. By maintaining exact tolerances, this part prevents excessive end-play that can lead to premature wear of internal components. As a genuine ZF part, it guarantees the precise thickness and hardness required for long service life in construction machinery applications.

Symptoms of Failure

• Transmission oil leaks at housing joints: A worn or incorrectly sized shim allows the 4108201277: HOUSING to shift, breaking the seal and causing fluid seepage.
• Gear slipping under load: When the shim loses its dimensional integrity, axial clearance increases, causing clutch packs to disengage intermittently during operation.
• Abnormal whining or grinding noises: Insufficient shim thickness leads to metal-on-metal contact between the 4108301304: BEARING COVER and rotating elements, generating audible distress.
• Vibration during shifting: Worn shims allow the planetary carrier to wobble, transmitting harsh vibrations through the driveline.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is specifically designed for ZF WG series powershift transmissions commonly found in construction machinery. It is compatible with the following models: WG180, WG200, WG210, WG250, and WG310. Always verify the shim stack height using a depth micrometer when replacing the 4108306173: GASKET or performing a full transmission overhaul. For optimal performance, pair this shim with the 0750110040: SHAFT SEAL to prevent contamination.
