Interim Model Year Design Change – M3L Interlock
Shift System
A change was made to the interlock components of the
shifting system to increase the robustness of gear
lockout when not engaged. The changes in 1st design
and 2nd design components are NOT
INTERCHANGEABLE.
It is possible that the same model year vehicle may
have either the first or second design transmission.
Based on the transmission design level, specific
parts catalog and service information needs to be
referenced when repairing a unit. Use the chart
below to identify the transmission design level.

How to Identify Transmissions:
4539947
4539679
There is a barcode label on the top of the transmission.
There is also a secondary ID tag on the side of the
transmission held by a bolt.
If the ID tag on the transmission is not visible, the
transmission design level can be identified by the
identification of the following components:
1. Modified shift shaft geometry on all shift shafts
including addition of holes through the 1st/2nd shift
shaft assembly and 3rd/4th lever selector
assembly.
2. Modified main case geometry and grooves for
interlock pins.
3. Unique parts of the interlock concept.
4. Modified geometry of the 5th/6th gate.
5. Modified geometry to the Gear Select Lever.
1. The geometry of the 1st/2nd shift shaft assembly
(1) and the 3rd/4th lever selector assembly (2)
were modified by adding through holes which
house new interlock pins. In addition to this every
shift shaft had its geometry modified by changing
grooves and chamfers which makes them
non-interchangeable between 1st (3) and 2nd (4)
design. For service please reference the correct
information and parts catalog by identifying these
parts or using the provided chart.

2. The rear divider wall of the main case has grooves
(1) added which will hold interlock pins. For service
please reference the correct information and parts
catalog by identifying these parts or using the
provided chart.

3. The shifting system has an interlock bracket (1st
design) (1) and an interlock plate (2nd design) (2)
which are bolted to the main case. Identification of
these parts help determine transmission design
level. For service please reference the correct
information and parts catalog by identifying these
parts or using the provided chart.
4. The geometry of the 5th/6th gate was modified in
the area shown. A flat was created and the
thickness was reduced by approximately 3.0 mm
(1). For service please reference the correct
information and parts catalog by identifying these
parts or using the provided chart.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
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 your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
