The Honda 23439-VE0-851 Clutch Arm Return Spring is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, and HRX217 lawn mowers. As an authentic Honda part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring the clutch arm operates exactly as designed. If your mower's drive engagement feels sluggish, fails to disengage cleanly, or the clutch arm does not spring back to position, this component is the correct starting point for diagnosis and repair. Always confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates parts at production breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tension — sourced directly from Honda, this spring delivers the return force the clutch arm needs to disengage the drive system fully and consistently.
- Direct Replacement — engineered to drop into the original mounting position without modification, restoring the clutch arm's travel and feel to as-built condition.
- Broad Mower Fitment — covers HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, and HRX217 walk-behind lawn mowers, including the popular HRX217 heavy-duty residential model.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda revises parts at production milestones, so verify your mower's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 23439-VE0-851 is correct for your unit.
The clutch arm return spring keeps tension on the clutch arm so that it snaps back to the disengaged position the moment the operator releases the bail handle. Without sufficient spring tension, the drive system may creep, fail to disengage promptly, or leave the operator unable to stop forward motion cleanly. A broken or fatigued spring also places extra stress on surrounding clutch components, so replacing a worn spring promptly protects the rest of the drive assembly.
