DPX-A. Same internals, just different cases/castings. The A uses a one-piece upper/intermediate, while the R has separate upper and intermediate castings. Lower units are essentially the same.

thanks Chuck, i was curious because they stamp it on the upper. hmmm . . .ya think they'd put it somewhere on the lower. yes i might be interested in the DPX-A stuff, i can always use spares and i may have some gears. whats the differance between the R and the A drives?

I'm a much more credible owner for your spare drives.

Thanks for all the help guys, and the parts schematic was awesome! The pin that holds the Eccentric Piston in place was sheared off. It was replaced, but the drive still will not shift into gear, although the shifter feels much better and goes to each detent.
I didn't perform the re-instalation of the set-up,...so were gonna take it back apart and re evaluate everything...maybe the cable is streched a bit now,....and needs replaced?
I'm also very, very curious as to what would shear the pin,....something? Anyone else sheared this pin....and?
We'll see..
