A/T - Harsh, Delayed Transmission Upshifts

Bulletin No. T 84-94
File In Group 7
Number 107
Date Aug. '84
SUBJECT: HARSH, DELAYED TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTS DUE TO TV CABLE CLIP RETAINER BIND

MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 DEVILLE AND BROUGHAM WITH 5.7L DIESEL ENGINE AND 200-4R TRANSMISSION

FIGURE 1 - TV CABLE CLIP RETAINER:

Harsh, delayed transmission upshifts may be a result of the TV cable end clip binding on the bellcrank "T" button (see Figure 1). The cable end clip binding on the "T" button may cause the cable end to twist and partially extend the cable on light or moderate acceleration resulting in a high pressure shift.

To repair this condition, disconnect cable end from button and file or grind the flat surface on the "T" button. Reconnect cable end to "T" button and recheck for freeness of cable end to swivel on the "T" button.
For warranty purposes, use labor Operation No. T6102 at .2 hour.
