This bulletin covers New Fiber Plates which have a smooth surface that will reduce the potential for a 2-3 Slip, 2-3 Flare and/or Delayed 2-3 Upshifts
during Light Throttle acceleration.
Fiber plates for the Direct Clutch Assembly with the new smooth surface went into production February 27, 1989 (Julian Date 058) for all THM
125/125C/HYDRA-MATIC 3T40 transaxles.
