Subject:Proper Positioning of Transmission Air Lines

Models:2003 Chevrolet Kodiak
2003 GMC TopKick
with Eaton® MS9 or MT3 Manual Transmission



Whenever servicing any of the above listed vehicles, please also inspect for the following.

Some Kodiak and TopKick models equipped with an Eaton® MS9 or an MT3 manual transmission may have one of the air shift lines positioned too closely to the driveline. If the air supply hose fitting at the filter regulator on the rear of the transmission is not indexed correctly, the line could contact the output shaft yoke.

Reposition all lines away from the yoke. If any contact has occurred, the line should be replaced.
