Can anyone tell me if shift forks and a drum from different year 225DX's or 225DR's are interchangeable?
I finally got around to rebuilding the carb on our 84 225dx we bought last year, it starts and runs great..... Except it does not like to shift gears.:( Seems to shift better up than it does down, shifter is very spongy. I did adjust the clutch and no change.
From what I can tell and have read you have to pull the motor to do this? Anything special I need to know… other than this repair is a real big pain in the ass? The person we bought it from said "Yeah it runs great, it just hasn’t been started in a couple years and the carb needs cleaned" which that part was true. I rolled it back and forth when we looked at it but only ran it thru maybe 2nd or 3rd at the most and it seemed ok, but not the case I guess.

I was thinking of buying these on EBay… but if the ones below will work I would rather go with them and get the extra parts for a better price-

Cheaper and more parts- (not sure if these years interchange)
