Campaign - M/T Sticks in First Gear: Overview
Number 86-C-08 Date 10/86Subject: MUNCIE 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION STICKS IN FIRST GEAR
MODELS AFFECTED: 1986 PONTIAC FIERO GT W/2.8L V6 ENGINE AND 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION
TO: ALL PONTIAC DEALERS
General Motors has determined that some 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT model vehicles equipped with 2.8L V6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission may experience a condition whereby the interlock pin for the 1-2 shift rail may partially come out of the detent block bore and prevent shifting of the transaxle out of first gear.
To prevent this condition from occurring, an interlock spacer plate will be added to the detent holder to assure proper retention of the interlock pin..
