The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in the PI.
Delay and harsh engagement into drive and/or harsh engagement into reverse, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gears after repairs in which the clutch spring packs were removed/replaced.
Incorrect clutch spring pack installed into incorrect clutch
Install the correct spring pack into the appropriate clutch housing. First clutch spring pack has a softer spring and is stamped with the number 7. Clutch packs 2, 3 and 4 have a stiffer spring and have no stamping. To verify proper reassembly, remove the 1st clutch housing and inspect for the presence of a number 7 on the face of the spring pack. If the number 7 is not readily visible, the wire diameter of the springs in the spring packs for 2nd , 3rd, and 4th gears is noticeably larger than that for 1st. Replace the clutch return spring(s) with the correct part number(s) for the pack. First clutch spring P/N: 21003592. Second/third/fourth clutch spring P/N: 21003593.
.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians,
NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to
provide information that could assist in the proper service of a
vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment,
tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and
safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the
bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have
that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether
your vehicle may benefit from the information. |
