VITARASection Title: Transmission
TSB No. TS 02 04277
Division: Automotive
Category: Technical
SUBJECT:
SERVICING AND REPLACEMENT OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID PIPE UNION BOLT AND GASKET.
MODEL(S):
XL-7 GRAND VITARA (JA627), GRAND VITARA (5Q625W & JB627), VITARA (5Q420 & 5Q625L)
YEAR(S):
1999~2006
CONDITION:
At the beginning of April 2006 a production modification took place which lead to eliminating the use of a hexavalent chromium plated union bolt. Due to the change in nominal length of the replacement bolt the correct gasket is required during servicing. Use of an incorrect gasket will result in automatic transmission fluid leakage.
CAUSE:
An industry-wide change in corrosion protection.
CORRECTION:
During servicing of the automatic transmission fluid pipe the correct bolt and gasket need to be used to ensure a proper seal. For identification and interchange see tables below.
