Early to Late Rancher 420 transmission changes

Does anyone know what changes Honda made in the 2009 or so Rancher 420 vs the 07-08 ? Looks to me that they maybe packaged the gears that actually meshed together as a set on the 07-08??? Take for instance the gear listed #14 is priced at $167 , but the #9 gear (one it meshes with) is the same part number and is also listed at $167 …..The 09 lists the same gear #14 with a different part number and is priced at $57 ??? I know that we are looking at parts drawings and not pics , but it would not surprise me if these part are the same , just packaged different . I ran into this with cranks for my 07 , with the later model crankshafts being $100 bucks cheaper . I bought one of the later model cranks and it was IDENTICAL to the earlier model so now I’m investigating these tranny gears to se if they are along the same line . Here is a pic of the old and new crank for your viewing pleasure !
