The Honda 90553-752-000 Rear Differential Case Shim (35.5X45X1.2) is a genuine OEM component designed for the H5013, H5518, and RT5000 multi-purpose tractors. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this shim is manufactured to the exact specifications called out in Honda's parts catalogue, ensuring the differential case assembly is set to the correct clearance. Verify your tractor's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates part supersessions at specific serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fit — sourced directly from Honda, this shim matches the precise thickness dimension (35.5 x 45 x 1.2 mm) specified for the rear differential case on these tractors, so preload and end-play are set correctly on reassembly.
- Exact Replacement — supplied under part number 90553-752-000, this is the same shim used in Honda's original assembly, dropping straight into place without modification.
- Tractor Fitment — listed for the H5013, H5518, and RT5000 Honda multi-purpose tractors; confirm your serial number against the compatibility table to ensure this is the correct shim for your unit.
- Critical Clearance Control — a shim of the wrong thickness causes excessive differential lash or binding, leading to accelerated gear wear and drivetrain noise; using the correctly sized shim keeps the differential operating within Honda's specified tolerance.
A differential case shim is a precision-thickness spacer used during the assembly of the rear differential to set the correct axial clearance and preload on the differential case bearings. By controlling how much end-play exists within the differential, the shim keeps internal gear mesh and bearing load within the design limits Honda specifies for these tractors. When the shim is worn, damaged, or the wrong thickness is installed, the differential can develop excessive play or binding, producing noise and accelerating wear on the internal gears and bearings.
