The Honda 90522-VD6-801 Bevel Gear Shim C (2.45MM) is a genuine OEM shim designed for H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors. As an authentic Honda part, it carries the exact 2.45MM thickness specification needed for correct bevel gear preload and backlash adjustment in these tractors. Confirm your serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes shim specifications at serial breaks — getting the right thickness is critical to proper drivetrain operation.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — the 2.45MM dimension is a precise setting shim; even a fraction of a millimeter difference changes bevel gear mesh and can accelerate gear wear
- Genuine OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, this shim meets the same specification as the original fitted during assembly of the H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors
- Serial Number Matters — Honda issues shim updates at production breaks, so cross-reference your tractor's serial number with the fitment table to confirm part number 90522-VD6-801 is correct for your unit
- Drivetrain Integrity — a shim of incorrect thickness leads to improper bevel gear contact, resulting in noise, premature wear, and eventual drivetrain failure
A bevel gear shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to set the correct axial position and mesh engagement of bevel gears within the tractor's transaxle or differential. By controlling the exact gap and contact pattern between gears, the shim ensures load is distributed evenly across the gear face during operation. When the shim is worn, damaged, or of the wrong thickness, bevel gears run out of proper mesh, generating noise and heat that accelerates wear — eventually leading to gear damage that requires far more extensive repair.
