The Honda 90524-VD6-801 Bevel Gear Shim E (2.55mm) is a genuine OEM Bevel Gear Shim designed for H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors. As a Honda OEM component, this shim is manufactured to the exact thickness specification required to set correct bevel gear preload and mesh in the drivetrain of these tractors. Confirm your tractor's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes shim specifications at production breaks and multiple thickness variants may be listed for the same model.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — the 2.55mm dimension is a precise measurement that determines bevel gear mesh and preload; using the wrong thickness causes premature gear wear or drivetrain play
- Genuine OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, this shim matches the original specification for part number 90524-VD6-801 without substitution
- H4514 and H4518 Fitment — listed for Honda H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors; verify your serial number to confirm the correct shim thickness for your specific unit
- Drivetrain Integrity — a correctly shimmed bevel gear set runs quietly and transfers power efficiently; an incorrect or worn shim allows backlash that accelerates gear damage over time
A bevel gear shim is a precision-thickness spacer used to set the running clearance and contact pattern between bevel gears in a tractor's drivetrain. In the H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors, the bevel gear assembly transfers engine power through a change in rotational direction to drive the wheels or cutting deck. The shim thickness determines how tightly the gear faces mesh — too much clearance causes noise and accelerated wear, while too little creates binding and heat. Selecting the correct thickness variant for your serial number range is essential to restoring the drivetrain to proper operating condition.
