PARTS REVISION

There have been four (4) changes made in the KM200 and KM210 series transaxles. The changes were incorporated to improve the reverse shift feel. These changes entered transaxle production on December 29, 1988 beginning with transaxle No. HC6049 and later. The revised parts can be identified as follows:

Figure 1:

1. Reverse shift lever, ribs and reinforcement have been added. Figure 1.

Figure 2:

2. Bearing retainer has been reinforced. Figure 2

Figure 3:

3. Reverse shift lever shoe has been beveled. Figure 3

Figure 4:

4. Reverse shift lever mounting bolt length increased from 18 mm to 20 mm. Figure 4
The new shift lever shoe and bolt are interchangeable with earlier built transaxle.

The new reverse shift lever and bearing retainer are interchangeable with earlier built transaxles only when replaced as a set.
The use of the above parts is recommended when reconditioning early built transaxles. Refer to the chart below for part number information.
