BULLETIN COVERS:
Introduction of a new Solenoid Assembly and Wiring Harness (Type 18) and new Control Valve Assembly for some 1988 THM 700-R4 models (refer to
models listed above). The new control valve assembly uses a plug in place of the 4-3 pulse switch. The function of the 4-3 pulse switch, to momentarily
release the torque converter clutch during a 4-3 down shift, was programmed into the ECM for the 1988 model year. These models had previously used a
Type 15 Solenoid Assembly.
