ZF 4695.301.014 SHIM | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4695.301.014 SHIM is a precision-engineered adjustment component designed for heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part plays a critical role in establishing the correct axial clearance within the planetary gearset assembly, directly influencing gear mesh alignment and load distribution. The SKU 4695.301.014 is a factory-specified shim that sits between the 4695101002: HOUSING and the 4695301021: HOUSING to ensure precise end-play tolerances. Without this shim, internal components can shift under torque, leading to accelerated wear and reduced transmission efficiency.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4695.301.014 shim wears or is incorrectly installed, operators will notice specific performance issues. Transmission gear slipping under load is a primary symptom, as improper clearance prevents full clutch pack engagement. Excessive axial play or end float in the output shaft can be felt during deceleration or when shifting between forward and reverse. Metallic grinding noises from the transmission housing often indicate that the shim has collapsed, allowing gear teeth to contact the 4695301022: COVER. Finally, low hydraulic pressure readings may occur if the shim failure allows the 0634801038: SEALING RING to shift out of its groove, causing internal leakage.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This shim is a standard adjustment element used across multiple ZF power-shift transmission families. It is directly compatible with the ZF WG180, WG200, and WG210 series commonly found in wheel loaders, graders, and compactors. The part also fits select ZF 4WG-200 and ZF 6WG-200 models where the planetary carrier assembly requires precise shimming. Always verify the stack height against the service manual when replacing this component alongside the 4695101002: HOUSING or 4695301021: HOUSING.
