Seville STS V8-4.6L VIN 9 (1998)
Service Information (See Figures 2 and 3)
Individual service component parts will be available for both the original 1998 model code transaxles and the garage shift updated model code
transaxles. Parts cataloging will reference the February 16, 1998 (Julian Date 047) breakpoint. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for definition of individual
component changes. Intermixing of individual components will cause premature transaxle failure.
Correction
Transaxle assembly plants started producing transaxles that contain an enhanced garage shift package on February 16, 1998 (Julian Date 047), to
improve the park to reverse garage shift feel. New model codes were introduced to help track the implementation of this change. In order to correct this
condition on a customer's vehicle with a transaxle built prior to February 16, 1998 (Julian Date 047), it will be necessary to install a Goodwrench SRTA
with the new model code, and reflash the calibration in the PCM.
