    The Husky manual say it takes 2 O-rings for the shifter shaft for 1983/84 models. My 250XC 1983 has only 1 O-ring groove and only 1 O-ring when I took it apart. The funny thing is it leaks,so I'm wondering if it's because it was missing an O'ring. The only place another one could go would be back against the shatf shoulder? Thanks

    Look at the service bulletins. I think mid/late 83 they changed/upgraded the o ring's.

    If it takes two then it will have two distinct o-ring grooves in the shaft. One in the normal area and one towards the inside. My 87 430 that I boned out had two, I put that shift shaft in my 82 which was a chronic leaker. Have a machine shop machine another groove in it, that was the update in the day.
