TORQUE CONVERTER LUGS NEW DESIGN/APPLICATION

1985 MODEL YEAR 20OC; 200-4R; 325-4L; 350C; 700-R4

Starting in early March, 1985, all 245mm and 298mm torque converter assemblies used on the transmission models listed above will be built with a new design converter lug. (See illustration)

Additionally, all 298mm torque converter assemblies used with diesel engine applications will have only three converter lugs instead of the six lugs that are currently being used.

Torque converter assemblies having the new design converter lugs will be optional for Field Service Use.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
