Date: March 1990
Corp. Bulletin No.: 077110
Subject: NEW 1-2 BAND ASSEMBLY - DOES NOT REQUIRE 1-2 BAND STOP
Model and Year: 1984-90 A CAR AND 1990 W CAR WITH 4T60 (440-T4) OR F7 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Figure 1:
This bulletin covers a new style 1-2 band assembly that will be used in production of all HYDRA-MATIC 4T60 (THM 440-T4) and THM F-7 transaxles. The area on the new 1-2 band assembly where the 1-2 band apply pin engages is almost twice as wide as the previous style. This increased area makes for a larger "target" for the 1-2 band apply pin and eliminates the need for the 1-2 band stop.
The 1-2 band stop was used to keep the 1-2 band assembly from shifting off location. If the band shifts off location, this would cause the 1-2 band apply pin to miss the band while stroking, creating a loss of drive.
The new style 1-2 band assembly can be used to service past model cases, but the 1-2 band stop must be removed.
IMPORTANT: If the new 1-2 band assembly is used with a 1-2 band stop, durability concerns may result.
The new 1-2 band assembly will be used in production starting January 16, 1990 (Julian Date 016).
When the supply of previous style 1-2 band assemblies is depleted, the new 1-2 band assembly will be the only style available.
