A/T - 200/2004R, 325/3254L Harsh or Soft 2-3 Shift

TSB 86-65 (Dec)

SUBJECT:
200, 200 4R, 325, 325 4 L

PROBLEM: Harsh 2-3 or Soft 2-3 Shift




The problem may be improper clutch pack clearance. Too much clearance gives a harsh 2-3, and too little clearance gives a soft 2-3. Clutch pack clearance should be approximately .010 per friction disc. If you have 6 frictions, clearance on that clutch pack should be approximately .060.

If you install the correct new parts, and clearance isn't right, the problem may be a wrong apply ring on the piston
