Skylark L4-138 2.3L SOHC VIN 3 MFI QUAD 4 (1992)
All 3.1L and 3.3L engines with automatic transmissions.
Service Information:
IMPORTANT:
Torque axis mounting systems allow more engine movement than other engine mounting systems. This movement may seem excessive but that is
the design intent of the mounting system. Do NOT replace any torque axis mounts for movement unless there is damage to the mount or rubber.
Diagnosis:
Spray 3M silicone lubricant P/N 51135-08935 or equivalent on the lower engine mount strut between the rubber and metal.
NOTE:Use only silicone type lubricant between the rubber and metal surfaces. Any other lubricant will destroy the rubber making replacement of the
lower engine mount strut necessary.
If the noise still exists, refer to corporate bulletin number 276101R for exhaust system seals and submit labor operation J0005 (except RPO LN2). If the
noise is gone, replace the lower engine mount strut with P/N 22594147 (2.2 & 2.3L engines, DO NOT use for 1994 models) or P/N 22637875 (3.1L and
3.3L engines, DO NOT use for 1994 models) and submit labor operation J1520. The silicone lubricant will eliminate the condition for a short time only.
Parts are expected to be available on June 20, 1994.
