Honda K Series Gear Selector Spring Washer 94102-14800

Honda K Series Gear Selector Spring Washer - 94102-14800

Replacing your K series transmission detent springs or gear selector springs and you need the washer that goes with them? Part number 94102-14800. This is the OEM flat washer (14mm) that sits between the gear selector spring and the bolt that holds it in place on top of your transmission. When you're upgrading to heavy-duty springs or replacing worn factory springs, this washer needs to be in place. Without it, the bolt can bottom out before it clamps the spring properly. You're not getting the spring preload you need and your transmission might not go into gear right. Fresh washer keeps your selector springs installed correctly.

Here's Why This Washer Matters

The gear selector springs sit on top of your K series transmission. They control the side-to-side movement of your shifter and help center it between gates. Each spring sits in a bore with a bolt holding it down. On some K series transmissions, there's a washer that goes between the spring and the bolt. The washer's job is to distribute the bolt clamping force evenly and prevent the bolt from damaging the spring. Without the washer, the bolt can dig into the spring or bottom out in the threads before the spring's compressed properly. Your shifter'll feel loose or vague. Worse, the transmission might not engage gears correctly because the selector mechanism's not preloaded right.

Not All K Series Trans Have These Washers

Some K series transmissions use this washer under the selector spring bolts. Some don't. When you're pulling your selector springs out, pay attention to whether there's a washer there or not. If your transmission came with washers, you need to reinstall them. If it didn't have washers from the factory, don't add them. Check your transmission when you're removing the springs. If you find washers, order replacements. If you don't find washers, you don't need this part. Don't assume all K series transmissions are the same.

Replace Them When Doing Spring Upgrades

If you're upgrading to heavy-duty detent springs or gear selector springs, replace these washers while you're in there. The washers are cheap and they're critical for proper spring installation. Don't reuse old washers that've been compressed under spring tension for years. They can be deformed or corroded. Fresh washers ensure your new springs are installed with the right preload and your shifter feels the way it should.
