This bulletin is being reissued to correct the implementation date of the new design selective washer from March, 1983 to June 17, 1983.

Beginning in late March, 1983, a new design selective washer went into production that is used on the following parts:

Turbine shaft to output shaft - THM 200C.

These parts are made from a different material and can be identified as shown in Figure 1.

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.
