TRANSAXLE CONVERTER COVER INTERFERENCE NOISE - REPAIR. Cadillac Cimarron 1986

For 1990-2009 cars

# TRANSAXLE CONVERTER COVER INTERFERENCE NOISE - REPAIR

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 - 1986 Cimarrons with 125C Transaxle

Some 1985 and early 1986 Cimarrons with 125C automatic transaxles may exhibit a noise generated by an interference condition between the plastic transaxle converter cover and the flexplate.

This condition may be corrected by replacing the plastic converter cover with the appropriate cover listed below:

Engine Converter Cover ------ --------------- 2.0L 14094891 2.8L 14094882

On 1985 models it will be necessary to also replace the three existing torque converter to flexplate bolts with P/N 10021095 (three required) which utilize a shorter head to ensure adequate clearance. Tighten the torque converter to flexplate bolts to 63 N.m (46 ft. lbs), retightening the first bolt to specification after tightening all three.

#### WARRANTY INFORMATION:

On 1985 models, use labor Operation K6300 for .5 hours (includes replacing the connecter cover and three converter to flexiplate bolts).

On 1986 models, use labor Operation K6295 for .3 hours (includes replacing converter cover only).
