Malibu V6-191 3.1L VIN M SFI (1997)
To repair this condition a revised forward clutch housing assembly complete, (including fiber and steel plates) must be installed with a revised assembly.
The revision to this assembly is a new piston assembly (607) and inner seal and sleeve assembly (608). The new piston assembly has additional rubber
material molded to it. The inner seal and sleeve assembly has a molded plastic insert. These revisions help reduce the volume of oil required to allow the
forward clutch assembly to apply. The forward clutch housing assembly must be replaced as a complete assembly. (See Figure 3)
Service Information
Road test the vehicle following an overnight cold soak as described under "Condition." Verify the vehicle has a delay during the initial shift into drive.
Replace the complete forward clutch housing assembly with the one supplied in service kit (P/N 24210576). Refer to the Unit Repair Section of the
Service Manual for the proper procedure.
A new service kit (gasket kit-trans with seals P/N 24210577) has been released which may be useful in obtaining the additional gaskets and seals that
may be needed in the servicing of a lower mileage vehicle. For transaxles which require a complete reconditioning, the overhaul complete service kit
should be ordered. Refer to parts catalog for the complete overhaul part number.
