HARSH UPSHIFTS AT HIGH ALTITUDE 1985-1986 MODELS

Harsh upshifts at high altitudes may be caused by high line pressure due to low engine vacuum and may be corrected on certain transaxle models by installing an aneroid modulator service package.

The service package includes a new vacuum modulator assembly, modulator valve, O-ring seal, and instruction sheet.

HARSH 3-2 SHIFT MANEUVER (17 TO 20 MPH) AT ANY ALTITUDE

Commencing with the start of production 1987, an orifice pipe has been added between the 1-2 servo release cover plate and the 3-2 coastdown valve to allow for a smoother second gear apply. The four new parts installed as a set will service certain past model transaxles and may correct a harsh 3-2 shift maneuver.

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.
