ISSUE

Some 2001 vehicles equipped with 4R100 transmission, having a transmission build date between 7/27/2000 and 3/23/2001, may exhibit an intermittent, delayed or no second gear condition. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) that may be set with this concern are P0781 (1-2 shift error), P0755 (shift solenoid B malfunction) and P0756 (shift solenoid B performance). This may be caused by the Intermediate One Way Clutch (mechanical diode style) not operating properly.

ACTION

Verify condition, follow normal diagnostics per the appropriate Workshop Manual. If diagnostics leads to the described condition, replace the Intermediate One Way Clutch (OWC) (mechanical diode style 7A089), Intermediate Brake Drum (7D044) and Intermediate Clutch internally splined friction plates (7B164). Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE





Verify above "ISSUE". Refer to Figure 1 for replacement components. Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual for Transmission Disassembly and Assembly procedures. If contamination is present, a full disassembly and cleaning will be required. Follow all the normal service procedures as indicated in the appropriate Workshop Manual.

NOTE
MAKE SURE ALL MATING COMPONENTS LISTED ARE CHANGED. THE MATING COMPONENTS OF THE TWO DESIGN ONE WAY CLUTCHES (7A089) ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. IF ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE NOT CHANGED, INTERNAL TRANSMISSION DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

NOTE

THE SPRAG DESIGN ONE WAY CLUTCH MUST BE USED WITH A # 7 THRUST WASHER. THE INTERMEDIATE BRAKE DRUM USED WITH THE SPRAG OWC DESIGN HAS SLOTS MACHINED IN THE DRUM FOR THE # 7 THRUST WASHER TABS.
