SUBJECT:
TRANSAXLE GEAR WHINE
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985-1986 CIMARRONS EQUIPPED WITH 2.8L V-6 AND 125C TRANSAXLE
Some 1985-1986 Cimarrons equipped with a 2.8L V-6 and 125C transaxle may exhibit a whine noise from the transaxle final drive from 50 MPH (80
KMH) to 20 MPH (25 KMH). This whine noise could be most audible during coastdown in the 30-20 MPH (45-25 KMH) range.
Figure 1 - Lateral Strut Assembly
To repair this condition, replace the transaxle lateral strut assembly, P/N 14106640. This one piece strut assembly will dampen and isolate this normal
final drive noise from the passenger compartment.
For warranty purposes, use labor operation K6740 at .3 hours.
