The Honda 23431-960-770 Driven Clutch is a genuine OEM component built for HR21, HRA21, HRM21, and HRS21 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring proper engagement and power transfer in the drive system. This driven clutch is the correct replacement for all four mower models in this series, but Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Clutch Integrity — manufactured by Honda to original specification, ensuring the correct engagement load and release characteristics that aftermarket alternatives may not replicate
- Direct OEM Replacement — designed to install in place of the original driven clutch with no adaptation, maintaining proper drive engagement in HR21, HRA21, HRM21, and HRS21 mowers
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts at production serial breaks; match your mower's serial number to the fitment table to confirm this is the right clutch for your unit
- Drive System Performance — a worn or damaged driven clutch causes slipping, uneven power delivery, or complete loss of drive engagement; replacing it restores smooth, responsive propulsion
The driven clutch is a key component in a walk-behind lawn mower's drive system, working in conjunction with the drive clutch to engage and transfer power from the engine to the wheels or blade. When the operator activates the drive control, the driven clutch receives rotational force and transmits it through the drivetrain to move the mower forward. Over time, the clutch can wear, slip, or fail to engage cleanly, resulting in loss of drive function or inconsistent propulsion — symptoms that a fresh OEM replacement directly corrects.
