This shim is a precision-engineered component used to make fine adjustments in mechanical assemblies, often within engine or transmission systems. It is manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and proper clearances where a worn or missing shim would cause play or misalignment. Operators might experience increased noise, vibration, or erratic performance in the affected system when a shim fails or is absent.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A shim that is too thin or missing can lead to excessive play or looseness in the component it supports, potentially causing increased noise or vibration. If left uncorrected, this can result in accelerated wear on adjacent parts or misalignment, affecting the overall performance and reliability of the system. The risk is premature failure of the supported component due to improper loading or contact.
Ensure the surfaces where the shim will be placed are perfectly clean and free of debris or old gasket material. Never attempt to reuse a shim that has been deformed or damaged; always use a new one of the correct specification.
Inspect the components that the shim interfaces with for any signs of wear, scoring, or damage before installing the new shim.
