99 450 would be a totally different machine. The Hondamatic unit in the 500 is non repairable, $1000-1500 part. I think basically if you find one and the Hondamatic unit has been replaced on it you should be good to go. They had an updated one at some point. I’d be less concerned buying an 03-04 than an 01-02.
