BULLETIN COVERS:
(Figure 1)
A vehicle equipped with a THM 440-T4/HYDRA-MATIC 4T60 or THM F-7 may experience an intermittent loss of Drive. This may be caused by the
1-2 band stop (139) being below specification allowing the band to shift off location causing the 1-2 Band Apply Pin to miss the Band while stroking,
creating a loss of drive. The vehicle will still have Reverse gear. If there is no Forward and Reverse gear, then it is most likely a damaged input clutch
sprag assembly.
