⚙️ Key Features

  • Thickness: 0.15mm
  • Selective drive-setup component
  • Controls bearing preload and gear position
  • Precision-ground steel shim
  • Must be selected from measured assembly clearance
  • TH=0.15mm (Volvo assembly listing)

🔌 Function

The shim adjusts the installed height of the bearing and gear assembly so shaft end play and gear mesh meet specification.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Excessive vertical-shaft end play
  • Gear whine or bearing noise
  • Incorrect bearing preload
  • Scoring or compression of the shim
  • Drive overheating after incorrect setup

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Shims are supplied in graded thicknesses and exist to bring a setting into specification, so measure with a micrometer and select the thickness the setting procedure for your engine calls for rather than matching one by eye
  • Note which shim came from which position on removal and keep them identified — once an assembly has bedded in, shims are not interchangeable between positions
  • Check both faces are clean, flat and free of burrs, corrosion and old sealant before fitting; dirt trapped under a shim shifts the setting as surely as the wrong thickness does
  • Discard any shim that is dished, cracked, pitted or fretted rather than reusing it, and make sure no old shim has been left behind in the recess
  • Recheck the clearance or setting after the assembly is tightened down, because clamping load can change the measurement you took loose
