A/T - Shift Lever Rattles On Steering Column
GMC NUMBER: 92-7A-119
GROUP: 7A Automatic Transmission
DATE: August 1992
CORPORATE NUMBER: 267103R
SUBJECT:
SHIFT LEVER RATTLES ON STEERING COLUMN (INSTALL REDESIGNED SHIFT LEVER)
MODELS:
1990-92 WL VANS WITH 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (RPO MXO)
Some owners of 1990-92 M/L vans with a four speed automatic transmission (RPO MXO) may comment about the shift lever on the steering column
rattling and/or having greater than desired movement while driving.
The rattling condition and/or additional movement in the shift lever may be caused by the bushing not fitting correctly in the shift lever hole where the
retaining pin goes through the assembly on the steering column.
This condition may be corrected by replacing the current shift lever assembly with a redesigned shift lever (P/N 15692370 without tilt wheel or P/N
15692371 with tilt wheel) which has a new style bushing in it.
