ZF 1232.304.055 SHIM for WG150 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 1232.304.055 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacer component designed specifically for the WG150 series transmission. This OEM genuine part ensures correct axial clearance between rotating assemblies and stationary housings within the gear train. By maintaining exacting tolerances, the shim prevents unwanted metal-on-metal contact that can lead to premature wear. The SKU 1232.304.055 is a factory-original ZF component, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy and material integrity for critical load-bearing applications in heavy-duty industrial transmissions.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 1232.304.055 shim wears or becomes damaged, operators may notice specific performance issues. Excessive end-play in the output shaft is a primary indicator, often felt as a clunk during gear engagement. Low-frequency vibration at cruising speeds can develop as bearing preload is lost. Metallic debris in the transmission oil filter signals that the shim surface is eroding. Finally, intermittent gear slipping under load may occur as internal clearances shift beyond design limits.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is engineered for the ZF WG150 series transmission family. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 models where similar planetary gearset clearances are specified. The part fits directly into the output shaft bearing pocket and interfaces with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4642101109) and the TRANSMISSION HOUSING (4642301205). During rebuilds, always verify the TYPE PLATE (0730365125) for exact model identification, and secure the assembly with the GROOVED STUD (0631311009).
