BULLETIN COVERS: (Figure 1)
A new style 1-2 band assembly will be used in production of all HYDRA-MATIC 4T60 (THM 440-T4) transaxles. The area on the new 1-2 band assembly where the 1-2 band apply pin engages is almost twice as wide as the previous style. This increased area makes for a larger "target" for the 1-2 band apply pin and eliminates the need for the 1-2 band stop.
The 1-2 band stop was used to keep the 1-2 band assembly from shifting off location. If the band shifts off location, this would cause the 1-2 band apply pin to miss the band while stroking, creating a loss of drive.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
The new style 1-2 band assembly can be used to service past model cases, but the 1-2 band stop must be removed.
IMPORTANT: If the new 1-2 band assembly is used with a 1-2 band stop, durability concerns may result.
DATE OF PRODUCTION CHANGE:
The new 1-2 band assembly went into production starting January 16, 1990 (Julian Date 016).
SERVICE NOTES:
When the supply of previous style 1-2 band assemblies is depleted, the new 1-2 band assembly will be the only style available.
