FORWARD CLUTCH HOUSING CHANGE CORRECTS HARSH PARK TO DRIVE

A DESIGN CHANGE WAS INCORPORATED IN THE 125C TRANSAXLE AT THE START OF PRODUCTION OF THE 1985 MODEL YEAR TO IMPROVE PARK/NEUTRAL TO DRIVE ENGAGEMENT. THIS CHANGE ELIMINATED THE CHECK BALL IN THE HOUSING (INDICATED BY THE * IN FIGURE 1) AND PROVIDED BLEED ORIFICES IN THE PISTON ASSEMBLY (629). THE REDESIGNED FORWARD CLUTCH HOUSING (SERVICE PART NO. 8653977) IS TO BE USED TO SERVICE ALL 125C TRANSAXLES IN 1982 THROUGH 1986 MODELS. BECAUSE THE FIRST DESIGN PISTON IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW DESIGN FORWARD CLUTCH HOUSING, A PISTON SEAL PACKAGE (SERVICE PART NO. 8637973) MUST BE INSTALLED WHENEVER REPLACING A FORWARD CLUTCH HOUSING ON A 1982 THROUGH 1984 MODEL TRANSAXLE.
