A Delay Handled the Right Way
Honestly, if I were in Miami like my shipment was, I wouldn?t have been in a hurry to ship out either. I was frustrated at first ? delays cost me time on the job ? but Propel Parts stepped up.
Deb, Daniel and the team owned the mistake, kept the communication clear, and graciously refunded my shipping costs without making it a hassle. That kind of accountability is rare these days, and I genuinely appreciated how they handled it.
Things don?t always go perfectly, but these folks proved they?re more interested in doing right by their customers than just pushing parts out the door. Solid company, solid people.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Caterpillar 9W7602 shim do?
The 9W7602 shim is a precision spacer used to adjust clearances, align components, and control preload in assemblies such as valve trains, bearings, and gear housings. Correct shim selection is essential for achieving proper tolerances and ensuring components operate within their designed performance range.
How do I know which thickness I need?
Shim thickness selection depends on measured clearances within the specific assembly being serviced. Use a precision dial indicator or feeler gauge to determine the actual gap, then select the appropriate shim thickness as specified in the Caterpillar service manual. If you are unsure, reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Can a worn shim cause engine or drivetrain damage?
Yes. An undersized or over-compressed shim can lead to incorrect clearances, excess vibration, accelerated wear on mating surfaces, and in some cases, catastrophic component failure. Replacing shims at the correct service intervals or when clearances are out of specification is a cost-effective way to prevent expensive repairs.
What material is the 9W7602 shim made from?
Shims used in CAT equipment are typically manufactured from high-quality hardened steel, selected for consistent thickness, corrosion resistance, and the ability to maintain dimensional stability under heat and pressure. The 9W7602 is built to meet OEM specifications for material and dimensional accuracy.
Is this shim reusable after disassembly?
Shims can often be reused if they are undamaged and show no signs of deformation, scoring, or corrosion. However, it is best practice to measure the shim thickness with a micrometer after removal to confirm it still meets the required specification before reinstallation.
What models is the 9W7602 shim compatible with?
This shim is used across multiple Caterpillar equipment families. Check your machine's parts manual for the correct part number for your specific model and serial number. Please reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment if the manual is unavailable or the compatibility is unclear.
Does Propel Parts offer a warranty on this shim?
Yes ??? all parts sold by Propel Parts carry a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty covering manufacturing defects.
