Service Information

This bulletin has been updated to include the 2007-2008 model year Ascender and pick-up.

IMPORTANT:
For 2005 model year vehicles, refer to SB05-05-S003 or newer.

Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.

During a 2-3 upshift the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft which can result in a clunk noise. This same torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band applied. This condition may be more apparent on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in the transfer case.

This is a normal condition.

No repairs should be attempted.
