Chevymec 473 Posted April 19, 2020 When I look up parts for my 500, I always see a 2 letter defination after it. What does these mean? I have never really understood them. The vin sticker on my frame is pretty much gone but the honda sticker on the right rear frame is partially still there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 17,154 Posted April 19, 2020 I see you call your a 500 S , I think it is actually a 500FM FM = 4WD manual shift FA = 4WD auto FGA = 4WD auto GPS 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,618 Posted April 21, 2020 To add to what Fish said FE is electric shift (ES) 4wd TE is electric shift 2wd TM is footshift 2wd FPM is footshift power steering 4wd FPE is ES power steering 4wd FPA is auto power steering 4wd The 2A after some models denotes camo plastics. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chevymec 473 Posted April 21, 2020 Thanks. It is an FM then. I have seen the manual shifts labeled S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,618 Posted April 21, 2020 Yeah the 450 footshifts were listed as "S" and the first year or two of the 500 had "Foreman S" stickers on them, but in the schematics they're FM's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
