Model and Year:
1985 CHEVROLET "S/T" LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A 2.8L V6 (B) ENGINE, 700R4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (MX0)
AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS (NB2) - SHREVEPORT ONLY
TO:
ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
General Motors has determined that certain 1985 Chevrolet "S/T" Light Duty Trucks equipped with a 2.8L V6 (B) engine code, automatic transmission
and California emissions system were built without a "Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)" wiring harness.
The omission of a "Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)" wiring harness will not allow the torque converter clutch to engage. This can cause excessive heat
build up which may result in premature transmission failure.
