1980-88 ALL MODELS EQUIPPED WITH 125 or 125C (MD9)

BULLETIN COVERS:

New Nibron coating for batwing and round washers used on input carrier pinions.

DATE OF PRODUCTION CHANGE: (Figure 1) ---------------------------------------

Input carries with the new Nibron coated pinion washers were built into THM 125/125C transaxlies starting with Julian Date 355 (December 21, 1987).

SERVICE ACTION:

The pinion washers (round and batwing) cannot be serviced individually.

The input carrier assembly should be inspected for:

Pinion Damage Pinion Tilt Pinion End Play - Use a feeler gage-end play range 0.24-0.69mm (0.009"-0.027")

If pinion end play is not in this range a new input carrier should be installed.

When servicing any THM 125/125C transaxle and inspection of the input carrier reveals any of the input carrier pinion washers are worn and/or missing, a new input carrier must be installed. This input carrier with new Nibron coating may be used on all past models.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
