THIS MESSAGE IS BEING SENT TO INVOLVED DEALERS ONLY.
General Motors has determined that certain 1992 G3 vans equipped with 4L80-E automatic transmissions (RPO MT1) were shipped from the
Scarborough assembly plant with the incorrect blade on the transmission fluid level indicators (dipsticks). The full cold indicator on the incorrect
dipstick is 18.9 mm. (3/4 in.) higher than on the correct dipstick. The transmission fluid was at the correct level when the vehicles were shipped from the
plant. However, if someone were to check the fluid level with the incorrect dipstick, the fluid would appear to below. Approximately 39 oz. of fluid
would be required to bring the reading on the dipstick up to the full cold mark. If this much additional fluid were to be added to the transmission, the
transmission's performance and durability could be affected.
To prevent these conditions from occurring, the correct transmission dipstick will be installed.
