The Honda 90511-VD6-000 Pinion Gear Shim B (1.30) is a genuine OEM shim designed for H3011 and H3013 riding mowers. As a direct Honda replacement, this shim carries the exact thickness specification — 1.30 — needed to achieve proper pinion gear positioning in the drivetrain. Honda supersedes shim part numbers at production serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this is the correct shim for your unit.
Key Features
- OEM Thickness Specification — manufactured to Honda's exact 1.30 mm dimension, which is the critical measurement for correct gear mesh and bearing preload in the drivetrain
- Genuine Honda Part — sourced directly from Honda, ensuring the shim meets the dimensional tolerances the H3011 and H3013 drivetrains were engineered around
- Variant-Specific Selection — the 1.30 designation identifies this as the "B" thickness in Honda's shim series; verify this matches your required specification before installation, as multiple shim sizes may be listed for these mowers
- Serial Number Matters — Honda updates drivetrain components across production runs, so cross-check your riding mower's serial number with the fitment table to confirm part number 90511-VD6-000 is correct for your machine
A pinion gear shim is a precision spacer used to set the axial position and running clearance of a pinion gear within a gear assembly. By controlling how far the gear sits along its shaft, the shim ensures correct mesh between mating gears, which affects how smoothly and quietly the drivetrain transfers power. When a shim of the wrong thickness is installed — or when an original shim is worn, deformed, or missing — gear mesh becomes imprecise, leading to accelerated wear on gear teeth, increased noise, and potential drivetrain damage over time.
