Corporate Bulletin No.: 137107

ASE No.: A2


Subject: EARLY TRANSMISSION CONVERTER CLUTCH APPLY


Model and Year: 1992 S/T TRUCKS WITH 4.3L ENGINE AND 4L60 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


Condition: Some owners of 1992 S/T trucks with 4.3L (LB4) engines and automatic transmissions may comment on early transmission converter clutch (TCC) engagement, TCC engagement just after the 2-3 upshift, or lack of power.

Cause: The [1][2]torque converter clutch is applied at low speeds during some driving conditions.

Correction: To correct this condition install a new calibration PROM which raises the TCC apply speed. This calibration will increase the TCC apply speed on a 1992 vehicle to be similar to a 1991 vehicle. (See below)
