A/T - A500 Burnt Overdrive Clutches

BULLETIN: # 083

DATE: November 1991

SUBJECT: Burnt Overdrive

APPLICATION: Chrysler

Burnt overdrive clutches may be caused by a missing screened orifice located in the intermediate shaft support.

A new orifice is available from Chrysler under part # 4412583.




When installing the orifice be sure to stake it in place. Early 1989 units did not have the orifice staked in place from the factory. Beginning in mid-1989 the factory started staking the orifice and as a result they are less likely to blow out.

BULLETIN RECAP:

^ An orificed screen must be in place on all A500's
