BUZZ FELT IN ACC. PEDAL NEW SPACER PLATE P/N

MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 & 86 SKYLARKS & CENTURYS EQUIPPED WITH 2.8L, V-6 ENGINES (VIN CODE "X & W") & THM 125C TRANSAXLES

A 1985 or 1986 THM 125C transaxle built prior to October 29, 1985 (Julian date 302) in Windsor, or prior to December 9, 1986 (Julian date 343) in Ypsilanti, may exhibit a throttle valve buzz condition. (See illustration).

Beginning on the listed dates, a new valve body to case cover spacer plate was introduced to eliminate the buzz by reducing the diameter of the 1-2 accumulator valve feedback orifice.

To correct a throttle valve buzz condition for models built before these dates, replace the original valve body to case cover spacer plate with the new spacer plate, Part Number 8660569.

Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
