Hi all,
was wondering if this seal is available anywhere or another also fits,i.e CB185.
Will replacing that seal mean splitting the engine?then I need new gaskets?anyone have any idea where I would then find those?
Cheers

Should be available from any Honda parts supplier.

No you shouldn't have to strip the engine. As removal of the gear lever shaft seal normally involves removing the right-hand engine (clutch) cover and clutch.
If the CD185 engine design follows normal Honda/Japanese practice, then it should be possible to remove the shaft (after disconnecting any selector parts? & gear lever) from the right-hand side of the engine, as the shaft goes right across gearbox. It should then be possible to lever the seal out of position and fit a new one.
The only problem you might have is if the shaft has been bent by accident damage etc. in which case it may not be possible to pull it out without cutting off the bent (L/H side) part of the shaft first?
I do suggest you get a workshop manual first if you haven't got one?

Oh,
that's cool ! it appears that a lot of parts seem interchangeable between the CB200 and the 185,is that right?
As far as you can guess or know?

Sorry, I really don't know, as I've never touched a CD185 engine at all.
