Has happened twice on our 98............did the valve walk out into the piston?
The problem with the linkage arm from '01 vs '02 is the '01 was alittle to long and it had plastic clips holding it in a few spots. Over time it could slope out in the plastic clips and then the arm it's self could come into contact with the water pumper gears break off and do all kinds of great things in there.
The '02 is an upgraded part the linkage was shorter more direct path and it no longer had the plastic clips. It wouldn't surprize me if suzuki just upgraded the parts diagrams.

yea i figured that also but the one i pulled out of my 2001 looks just like the part diagrams for the 01/02 on any web fiche i go to.
maybe its different but im holding the thing up to the screen and it looks identical. although i dont have the bottom platic clip, im sure the trans ate that for lunch
