Product Description
Pivot, Shift
The Honda 24618-ZV5-000 Shift Rod Joint is a genuine OEM linkage component designed for select Honda BF-series marine outboard engines. This precision-formed joint connects sections of the shift rod assembly, enabling smooth, accurate gear engagement between forward, neutral, and reverse. Built from corrosion-resistant, marine-grade metal, it withstands saltwater exposure, vibration, and continuous shifting cycles. A worn or loose shift rod joint can cause sloppy shifting, difficulty engaging gears, or unwanted gear slippage—making this OEM replacement essential for restoring factory-spec shifting performance and long-term reliability.
