At 0.3mm this is a fine adjustment shim, used where clearance needs to be dialled in accurately rather than taken up in large steps. Combined with thicker shims it lets you land on exactly the right spacing during a rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy that matters: correct shimming keeps gears meshing at the intended depth and bearings running square. Excess endplay lets components shuffle under load, which shows up first as drivetrain noise and later as uneven gear wear and stripped teeth. Insufficient clearance preloads the assembly, creating drag, heat, and premature bearing failure. The difference between the two states is often a single thin shim like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing thin also makes these shims the most easily lost hardware in a gearbox. They cling to grease, fall away unnoticed on disassembly, and are easily forgotten during reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct factory replacement that installs in the stock locations with no modification required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARRMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55779454779714,"sku":"ARA709069","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/5063\/8402\/files\/ARA709069_A0_HHN5G6NK.jpg?v=1785969281","url":"https:\/\/www.powerhobby.com\/products\/arrma-ara709069-shim-12-1x19-5x0-3mm","provider":"PowerHobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
