The Honda 90520-VD6-801 Bevel Gear Shim A (3.35MM) is a genuine OEM shim designed for H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors. As a direct Honda OEM component, this shim is manufactured to the exact thickness and dimensional tolerances required for proper bevel gear mesh in these tractors. This part is listed for both the H4514 and H4518 — confirm your serial number against the fitment table to ensure this 3.35MM variant is the correct specification for your unit.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — the 3.35MM designation is a precision measurement; bevel gear shimming is not a one-size-fits-all service, so match this variant to your tractor's requirement before ordering
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, ensuring the dimensional accuracy that correct gear mesh depends on
- Fits H4514 and H4518 Lawn Tractors — listed for both models; verify your serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the right shim thickness for your machine
- Critical Drivetrain Clearance — bevel gear shims set the running clearance between mating gears; an incorrect thickness causes excessive gear lash, premature wear, or binding in the drive system
A bevel gear shim is a precision spacer used to set the axial position and mesh depth of bevel gears within the drivetrain of a lawn tractor. By controlling the clearance between the gear faces, the shim ensures the gears transfer drive smoothly and with minimal wear. When this shim is missing, damaged, or the wrong thickness, the result is improper gear engagement — which typically shows up as noise, vibration, or accelerated wear on the bevel gears themselves. Selecting the correct thickness variant is essential: Honda supplies shims in graduated sizes so a technician can dial in the exact clearance the drivetrain requires.
