The Honda 90512-VD6-000 Pinion Gear Shim C (1.35) is a genuine OEM shim designed for H3011 and H3013 riding mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this component is manufactured to the exact specification required for proper pinion gear alignment and endplay adjustment in the mower's drivetrain. This shim carries the 1.35 mm thickness designation — confirm this matches your machine's service requirement before ordering, as multiple shim thicknesses may be listed for these models. Honda supersedes individual shim parts at serial-number breakpoints, so cross-reference part number 90512-VD6-000 against your mower's serial number in the fitment table to confirm you have the correct variant.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fit — manufactured by Honda to the exact thickness tolerance required for correct pinion gear mesh and bearing endplay, ensuring the drivetrain operates within its designed parameters.
- Thickness Variant (1.35) — the 1.35 mm designation is the selecting factor; match this specification to your service manual's shim selection chart before installation.
- Direct Application — listed for H3011 and H3013 riding mowers; verify your serial number against the fitment table, as Honda revises shim part numbers at production breakpoints.
A pinion gear shim is a precision-thickness spacer used during drivetrain assembly to set the correct axial position and mesh depth of the pinion gear. By controlling the amount of endplay and the contact pattern between gears, the shim ensures power is transferred smoothly without excess wear, noise, or backlash. When the wrong shim thickness is used — or when a shim is missing or damaged — gear mesh becomes imprecise, accelerating wear on both the pinion and its mating gear and leading to drivetrain noise or eventual gear failure.
