Ref. No.: 85-102-720
SUBJECT: OCCASIONAL LONG 1-2 SHIFT WHEN COLD
MODELS AFFECTED: SOME 1984 AND EARLY 1985 THM 200-C TRANSMISSIONS
FIGURE 1 - TYPICAL 200C SPACER PLATE:
Some 1984 thru early 1985 THM 200C transmissions may experience an occasional long 1-2 shift when cold. To repair this condition, a new spacer plate went into production on September 24, 1984 (Julian date 268).
When servicing any 1984 thru early 1985 THM 200C transmission built before the above Julian date, remove the valve body spacer plate.. Drill the 2nd and 3rd clutch exhaust orifice out to 3.57 mm (9/64") (Refer to illustration below). Using a 6.3 mm drill bit, hand chamfer both sides of the hole slightly, to remove burrs and rough edges.
