ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

Some THM 400/475 models may experience a fluid leak coming from the converter or oil pump area. This could be caused by the front pump bushing
walking forward, resulting in fluid being forced past the pump oil seal. A new bushing was introduced that has an increased hardness specification which
results in a higher push-out load.
