Difficulty Shifting And Or Low Clutch Pedal - keywords cover hard shift

This PI is being superseded to remove administrative details. Please discard PIP4318B.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Some customers may comment about difficulty shifting or that the clutch pedal operates very close to the floor.

Physically check the clutch hydraulic system for damage or leaks and repair as necessary. Insure that the system is properly bled and that the clutch reservoir is filled to the 'Fill Line'. DO NOT remove the cover to inspect for proper fill level. Reference the latest version of PIP4269 for proper bleeding procedures. Use only DOT 4 fluid ONLY.

If the above listed physical inspection does not reveal a root cause then replace the clutch and pressure plate assembly with current stock available in GMSPO inventory. The cause of the low pedal concern may then be due to the fact that the clutch has prematurely forward adjusted.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
