The Honda 90518-VD6-000 Pinion Gear Shim J (1.65) is a genuine OEM shim designed for H3011 and H3013 riding mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this shim is manufactured to the same specification as the original part installed at the factory. Honda supersedes shim part numbers at serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure part number 90518-VD6-000 is the correct selection for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Shim — sourced directly from Honda, this shim matches the original thickness specification (1.65) required for proper pinion gear positioning in H3011 and H3013 riding mowers.
- Critical Dimension Accuracy — the 1.65 mm thickness designation is a selectable specification; if your mower's gearset requires a different shim thickness, a different shim part number applies. Match this designation to your service manual requirement.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda issues shim variants across serial ranges, so cross-reference your mower's serial number with the fitment table to confirm this is the correct shim for your machine.
- Fits H3011 and H3013 Riding Mowers — listed for both Honda H3011 and H3013 riding mowers; confirm the 1.65 thickness designation against your service documentation before installation.
A pinion gear shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to set the correct axial position and mesh engagement of a pinion gear within the drivetrain. Correct shimming ensures the gear meshes at the right depth, minimising wear and preventing premature gear failure or noisy operation. When a shim is worn, damaged, or replaced with one of the wrong thickness, gear engagement becomes inconsistent, which can lead to accelerated drivetrain wear or loss of drive in the mower.
