TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
The following diagnosis procedure is for a burned 2-4 band and/or a burned 3-4 clutch. The probable customer comment for these conditions would be: 1) slipping 1-2 shift or no 1-2 shift and/or 2) slipping 2-3 shift or no 2-3 shift. This procedure is a general guide and you will need to refer to your service manual for additional information if questions arise.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the condition as follows:
a) Check and correct the oil level.
b) Check the T.V. cable for sticking or binding. Adjust the T.V. cable.
c) Road test the vehicle at normal operating temperature and check oil pressure.
2. For conditions of high or low oil pressure, refer to the service manual for proper diagnosis.
3. As a diagnosis aid, you can check the oil pressure differential between line pressure and the second, third or fourth clutch. If the pressure differential between line and any of these clutch circuits is more than 10 psi (assuming your oil pressure gages are accurate) there is a possible oil leak in that clutch oil circuit.
