#### BULLETIN COVERS:

The HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E Service Replacement Transmission Assembly (SRTA) Program beginning with the 1991 model year and limited on-car repair guidelines.

The HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E is a new transaxle model with electronic shift controls to control shift points.

#### SRTA ADVANTAGES:

- A SRTA is the product of a highly successful, customer satisfaction driven program that parallels the existing HYDRA-MATIC 3T40, HYDRA-MATIC 4T60 and HYDRA-MATIC 4L60 programs.

- All SRTA units are designed and remanufactured to current engineering specifications and are often less costly than major overhaul.

IN THE INTEREST OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, SRTA MODELS SHOULD ONLY BE CONSIDERED WHEN THE PROJECTED COST OF REPAIR EXCEEDS THE COST OF A SRTA REPLACEMENT.

#### CORE RETURN PROCEDURES (THM 4T60-E)

For the THM 4T60-E remanufactured transaxle, please refer to the return procedures outlined in the THM 700-R4 transmission core return program attachment to the original SRTA announcement Bulletin No. 67 with the following exception:

ALL WOODSTOCK SERVICED DEALERS ARE TO RETURN THE CORES TO:

GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA LTD., KUEHNE AND NAGEL DISTRIBUTION SERVICES 6451 NORTHWEST DRIVE MALTON, ONTARIO L4U 1K2

Remember, when completing the core return forms, the core part number must be prefixed by an "E".

The addition of the THM 4T60-E transaxle to the SRTA Program includes all the same features as offered with the 440-T4 transaxle and the THM 700-R4 transmission on the SRTA Program.

#### GENERAL GUIDELINES:

o On-Car Service or SRTA:

- Dealership overhauls for the entire transaxle will be allowed providing the technician has taken the HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E two- day training class number 17020.16. Until then, limited on- car repairs and SRTA will be the only service options.

- Transaxle conditions considered for SRTA usage:

All repairs that cannot be corrected by replacement of the parts shown in Figure 1.

- Dealer HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E transaxle repairs include:

Limited on-vehicle serviceable items. Reference Figure 1.

#### COOLER FLUSHING:

#### NOTICE: Cooler flushing MUST be performed whenever a transmission/transaxle is removed for service. It is essential to flush the cooler for SRTA installation, major overhaul, in any case of pump or torque converter replacement, or when fluid contamination is suspected. Use Kent-Moore Tool J-35944 to flush the cooler.

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.
