between the direct clutch (2) and fluid tube (1).
⇒

If clearance is 0.5 mm, follow service information to replace the MCV, filter and canister
filter.

If clearance is 0 mm, remove transmission and
go to step 5.

Note: If the direct clutch is seized onto the stator
housing, the transmission will need replacement.
5. Remove the direct clutch. Refer to Direct Clutch
Replacement.

cannot be removed, the transmission will have
to be replaced.

hand, this is evidence that the snap ring has
failed. Remove the direct clutch and inspect the
transmission case. If it is found to have damage
from direct clutch contact, start a technical
assistance case and attach photos.

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.
