The Honda 90517-VD6-000 Pinion Gear Shim H (1.60) is a genuine OEM component designed for H3011 and H3013 riding mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required for correct pinion gear positioning in these mowers. Confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes shim specifications at serial breaks — the 1.60 mm thickness designation identifies this specific variant, and selecting the correct shim is essential to proper drivetrain assembly.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Tolerance — at 1.60 mm, this shim delivers the precise axial positioning needed for correct pinion gear mesh; an incorrect thickness can cause gear noise, accelerated wear, or improper engagement in the drive assembly.
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, part number 90517-VD6-000 meets the dimensional specification Honda set for H3011 and H3013 riding mower drivetrains.
- Verify Your Variant — Honda offers multiple shim thicknesses in this series; match the 1.60 designation to your mower's service manual specification and confirm your serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
A pinion gear shim is a precision-thickness washer used to set the correct axial position and mesh depth of a pinion gear within a drive assembly. In Honda H3011 and H3013 riding mowers, the shim ensures the pinion gear runs with proper clearance and alignment against its mating gear, which directly affects smooth, quiet operation and long gear life. When the shim is worn, missing, or the wrong thickness is installed, the gear mesh becomes either too tight or too loose — leading to premature gear wear, noise, or loss of drive function.
