DECLUTCH STALL DURING ENGINE WARM-UP

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1985-86 1.8L OHC L-4 ENGINE (VIN CODE 0) ------------------ USED IN J CARS WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

There have been some customer comments of vehicles equipped with 1.8L OHC engines and 5-speed manual transmissions encountering a declutch stall during vehicle warmup.

This condition may occur after a closed throttle coastdown from highway speeds, and depressing the clutch pedal at approximately 35-40 miles per hour.

If this condition is encountered and routine shop manual procedures are ineffective, a service PROM, P/N 1228482 is available.

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.
