Service VME - M86 Manual Transmission Clutch Will Not Release Completely

When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

After performing repair work using SPO part number 22629291 which is the clutch pressure plate for the 2.4L engine (RPO LD9), the clutch may not release completely. If this occurs and you have verified that the hydraulic release system is operating properly, a new pressure plate may be required. The pressure plate can be sensitive to impacts prior to installation and may have been damaged during shipping. Unfortunately there is no way to visually inspect for this concern prior to installation.

Please follow this diagnosis 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. If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance. This diagnostic approach was developed for the vehicle with the VIN you entered and should not be automatically be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.
