There have been two (2) changes made in the KM200 Series transaxles to prevent double engagement. These changes were effective in July, 1988.

The interlock plunger groove in the 3rd-4th shift rail (4 and 5 speed transaxles) and the 5th-reverse shift rail (5 speed transaxle) have a 30~ chamfer. Figure 1.

FIGURE 2:

The spring force in the restrict ball unit has been increased to provide greater ball pushing force. Figure 2.

NOTE: THESE COMPONENTS CAN BE USED IN EARLIER BUILT KM200 SERIES TRANSAXLES.
