SUBJECT:
ENGINE FLARE, PUMP WHINE OR TRANSAXLE SLIPS ON TURNS - THM 440-T4
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985-1987 DE VILLE, FLEETWOOD, ELDORADO AND SEVILLE
Some 1985-1987 De Villes, Fleetwoods, Eldorados and Sevilles may experience engine flare, pump whine or transaxle slips on severe turning
maneuvers. Flare may be described as a quick increase in engine r.p.m., accompanied by a momentary loss of torque.
This condition may be caused by a loss of prime to the oil pump as a result of transaxle fluid movement in the oil pan.
To repair this condition, check for proper fluid level and correct as necessary. If the flare still occurs, remove the bottom pan and replace the filter and
seal with the new design filter (which contains a baffle) and seal package.
