02M311470A Volkswagen spacer sle

These little guys are pretty simple, honestly. They're basically just cylindrical pieces, usually metal, designed to create a precise gap or distance between other parts. They maintain alignment and proper spacing within the gearbox. Sometimes they also help absorb a little bit of vibration or stress. In your drivetrain, specifically inside the gearbox, they’re used in a bunch of places. Think about gears meshing together – you need everything lined up perfectly for smooth operation. The spacer sleeve ensures the correct spacing between gears, shafts, bearings, and other components. They fill gaps that might exist due to manufacturing tolerances or wear. They aren’t a high – stress part usually, but a missing or damaged one can throw everything off. They’re vital for keeping everything running smoothly and quietly inside the gearbox. If a spacer sleeve fails or goes missing, you’ll likely notice if it’s a bad one pretty quickly. You might hear noises – whining, grinding, or clicking sounds. It can also lead to premature wear on other parts as things start rubbing or hitting that shouldn’t be. Essentially, it’s a small piece that acts like a shield, protecting more expensive parts from damage. You can find these pretty easily, we stock a lot here, and places like Fixparts Online are good for finding exactly what you need if you prefer to order online. Replacing a worn or missing sleeve is usually a straightforward fix, but it's important to get the right size and material for your vehicle. Volkswagen stands behind its products: Spacer Sleeve (MPN 02M311470A) has a 12-month warranty!
