This supplement corrects the engine specifications found in the "Model and Year" description, opening paragraph and Vehicles Involved section of Chevrolet Product Campaign Bulletin 90C34, dated March, 1991. Specifically, the engine and engine VIN code were incorrectly specified in the original bulletin. The correct specification should have been a 2.2L engine with a VIN code "G". Owner notification letters were corrected prior to mailing.
Revised information is shown in bold type and denoted with a # sign. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ General Motors has determined that certain 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier, # Beretta and Corsica model vehicles equipped with 2.2L engines and 3T40 transaxles may have been assembled with a transaxle intermediate servo cover with a rough piston bore. The rough finish could eventually wear the lip of the (inner) intermediate servo seal, causing a leak in the second clutch circuit (intermediate servo apply) . This leak may cause intermediate band and direct clutch wear, and result in a "no second gear" condition.
Involved are certain 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier, Beretta and Corsica model # vehicles equipped with 2.2L engines and 3T40 transaxles built within the following VIN breakpoints:
PLANT YEAR MODEL PLANT CODE FROM THROUGH ---- ----- ---------- ---- -------- -------- 1990 J-Car Janesville "J" LJ305686 LJ313136 1990 L-Car Wilmington "Y" LY259395 LY266181
# Denotes change.
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.
