BROKEN CLUTCH SPRING FINGERS OR BENT CLUTCH FORKS

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1986-87 FIERO WITH V6 ENGINE AND 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Some 1986 and 1987 Fieros with V6 engines and 5-speed manual transmissions may experience broken clutch pressure plate spring fingers and/or, bent clutch release forks. This condition can occur if the clutch release bearing is not properly installed on the clutch fork.

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.
