Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is this shim used for?
A: This shim is used to set the correct differential bearing preload and end-float during 0B4 gearbox assembly or rebuild. The correct shim thickness is determined by measurement during the build.

Q: Do I need a specific thickness or a selection kit?
A: During a rebuild you may need to measure the end-float and select the appropriate shim(s). We stock multiple thicknesses — contact us if you need a selection pack.

Q: Is the 0B4 gearbox the same as the 02A?
A: The 0B4 is a VW 4-motion / all-wheel drive variant of the 02A family. Shim part numbers differ, so always verify using your gearbox code.

Q: How many shims are typically needed per build?
A: Differential shimming on the 0B4 typically requires shims on both the ring gear and pinion sides. The exact quantity and thickness depends on measurement during assembly.

Q: I'm unsure if this fits my gearbox — what should I do?
A: Send us your gearbox code or VIN and we'll confirm the correct shim specification.
