Bulletin Number: 92-7-24
Reference Number: 377113R
Publish Date: 4/93
Subject:
PREMATURE CLUTCH DISC WEAR (REPLACE CLUTCH DRIVEN DISC AND CLUTCH COVER)
Models Affected:
1992 FIREBIRD MODELS W/5.0L ENGINE AND 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CONDITION:
You may receive comments that some 1992 Firebird models built with 5.OL engines (VIN code "E" or "F"; RPO L03 or LB9) and 5-speed manual
transmissions (RPO MK6 or M39) may experience a condition of premature wear of the clutch driven disc. Evidence of this condition may be loss of
vehicle motion in both the forward and reverse gears.
CORRECTION:
While the Owner's Manual states that "normal" clutch driven disc wear is not covered under the vehicle's warranty, this premature wear condition should
not be considered "normal". In order to maintain customer satisfaction, clutch driven disc concerns due to this premature wear condition will be covered
under the three (3) years or 36,000 miles warranty, whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of
ownership. However, it does NOT cover other conditions which may necessitate replacement of the clutch driven disc.
If you receive a comment for premature clutch driven disc wear, replace both the clutch driven disc and clutch cover per procedures stated in the
applicable service manual.
