095323287F Volkswagen SUN GEAR

A sun gear is basically a central gear inside your vehicle’s differential, often found in both automatic and manual transmissions, and in some transfer cases. It meshes with a set of planet gears, and all of that works together to manage power flow and allow for different speeds. It’s a pretty simple component, but vital for how everything spins. Think of it like this – the sun gear receives power from the engine, and then distributes that power to the wheels. It's a key part of the differential, which lets your wheels turn at different speeds when you’re going around a corner. Without it, your inside wheel and outside wheel would have to spin at the same rate, and turning would be…difficult, to say the least. It’s really at the heart of how your car gets moving. It’s important because if the sun gear fails, you’ll notice if it’s a complete failure pretty quickly – usually with a loud clunking or grinding noise coming from the rear end of your vehicle, or trouble getting the vehicle to move at all. Even a slightly worn sun gear can cause vibrations and premature wear on other components in the differential. It acts like a shield for the rest of the gears, taking the brunt of the force. If yours is damaged or worn, it needs to be replaced to avoid bigger, more expensive problems down the line. You can find these pretty easily online, Fixparts Online has a good selection, but any reputable auto parts supplier will carry them. Your satisfaction is our priority: Sun Gear (MPN 095323287F) includes a 12-month warranty!
