Date: Nov. '92
Ref.No.: 92-315-74L60
Corp.Ref.No.: 277135R

SUBJECT:
HARSH 1-2 UPSHIFT (INSTALL SERVICE PACKAGE)

MODELS AFFECTED:
1992 ROADMASTER WITH 1992 4L60 TRANSMISSION

THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO CORRECT THE LABOR OPERATION NUMBER. PLEASE DISCARD BULLETIN NUMBER 92-74L60-9.





CONDITION: (Figure 1)

Some Roadmasters equipped with a 1992 HYDRA-MATIC 4L60 transmission built between Julian Date 061 (March 1, 1992) and Julian Date 171 (June 19, 1992) may experience a harsh 1-2 upshift.

NOTE:
Once the transmission is brought to operating temperature, the condition may not be able to be reproduced until a "cold soak" (overnight) is performed.

CAUSE:

The above condition may be caused by a tapered 1-2 accumulator sleeve. The tapered bore may cause the 1-2 accumulator valve to stick in the bottom of the bore.





CORRECTION: (Figure 2)

To improve the 1-2 shift, install the service package listed in this bulletin. A 1-2 accumulator valve and 1-2 accumulator valve sleeve (which, normally, is not serviceable) is included in the package.
