ISSUE
A redesigned AX4N pump gasket (-7A136-) for 1998 model year main controls has been released to remove an area of gasket material that is
unsupported and could break off and stick valves in the valve body. The valve most commonly stuck has been the by-pass clutch control valve causing
no converter clutch engagement.
