Calais FWD V6-181 3.0L (1986)
Figure 2
This bulletin covers new 1-2 and reverse band assemblies that do not require selective band apply pins.(Figures 1 and 2) A new manufacturing process
machines the area where the case anchor pins contact the band. With this new process, all the 1-2 bands are the same size and all the reverse bands are
the same size. With the bands all the same size, selective band apply pins are not required. NOW, THERE IS NO NEED TO MEASURE FOR
SELECTIVE BAND APPLY PINS FOR THE ENTIRE NORMAL SERVICE LIFE OF THE BAND.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
Do not measure for selective band apply pins - this will be removed from the labor time allowance for all applicable 1991 labor K-codes. If replacing a
1984 through 1991 model year transaxle 1-2 or reverse band, it is not necessary to measure for selective band apply pin(s), provided that the band
service package contains an instruction sheet about the non-selective band apply pin band.
