NEW 2-4 SERVO COVER AND SEAL SERVICE INFORMATION
MODELS: 1982-1984 L,K,S,T WITH THM 700-R4 TRANSMISSION
Beginning April, 1983, all THM 700-R4 trans- missions were built with a new 24 servo cover and seal. This change provides a tighter fit between the case servo bore and the 2-4 servo cover.
The new servo cover "O" ring (part number 8647351) is identified with a green stripe. This is to distinguish it from the past "O" ring (part number 8642112) which is sitill used on the second apply piston. Refer to Figure No. 2. numbers 14 and 21 for correct location of "O" rings.
NOTE: The past servo "O" ring (part number 8642112) cannot be u#sed with the new servo cover, if used together they will leak.

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.
