THM 440-T4 ALL MODELS
Since the introduction of the 440-T4 automatic transaxle in March 1985, most units requiring service have been replaced by the Hydra-matic Division through the Transaxle Exchange Program. During the early part of 1985, dealers were able to perform certain on-car repairs to the 440-T4.. Effective August 26, 1985, GM dealers can perform all service operations on the 440-T4 or complete unit replacement through use of the new Service Replacement Transmission Assembly (SRTA) Program.
SRTA represents an additional method of service Pontiac dealers can offer the customer should repairs become necessary on a 440-T4 automatic transaxle. The SRTA program is specifically designed to reduce vehicle downtime for the customer and enhance quality repair in the dealership. Effective August 26, 1985, the 440-T4 SRTA Program replaces the Transaxle Exchange Program. All parts needed to perform overhaul repair as well as SRTA units can be ordered directly from your local WDDGM Parts Distribution Center (PDC).
