ZF 4695.301.013 SHIM | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4695.301.013 SHIM is a precision-engineered spacer component designed for critical axial clearance adjustment within heavy-duty ZF construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part, identified by SKU 4695.301.013, sits between the transmission housing and rotating assemblies to maintain exact end-play tolerances. Proper shimming prevents excessive gear movement and ensures optimal load distribution across bearings. When paired with a 4695101002: HOUSING, this shim guarantees that internal components remain securely positioned under high torque conditions.

Symptoms of Failure

• Transmission gear clash during engagement – Worn or missing shims allow axial play, causing gears to misalign and grind when shifting under load.
• Premature bearing noise or vibration – Insufficient shim thickness leads to bearing preload loss, resulting in a low-frequency rumble from the transmission case.
• Oil contamination from metal debris – A degraded shim can fracture, sending metallic particles through the hydraulic circuit and damaging valve bodies.
• Intermittent power loss in forward gears – Excessive end-play from a collapsed shim causes clutch packs to slip intermittently, particularly in WG-series transmissions.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is engineered for ZF WG180, WG200, and WG210 series powershift transmissions commonly used in wheel loaders, excavators, and telehandlers. It also fits select ZF 4WG-200 and 6WG-200 variants. For proper installation, always verify clearance with the 4695301021: HOUSING and the 4695301022: COVER assembly. The shim must be paired with a new 0634801038: SEALING RING to prevent fluid bypass around the adjustment point.
