# NO UPSHIFT AFTER A PART OR FULL THROTTLE DETENT

#### VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984-1986 THM 200C, 200-4R 1984-1985 THM 325-4L (Revised to Update Information)

A 1984 through 1986 THM 200-C, THM 200-4R or 1984-1985 THM 325-4L transmission may exhibit a no upshift condition after a part or full throttle downshift.

This condition may be caused by internal leakage hydraulically locking the throttle valve plunger. If this occurs, the line pressure remains at a boosted level, resulting in a no upshift condition.

To repair this condition, a new throttle valve plunger, throttle valve bushing, and for some models, a throttle valve lever and bracket assembly should be installed. Refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3 for transmission nameplate identification information and to Figures 4, 5 and 6 for service parts identification. Chart A provides service package part numbers, transmission model applications and 1986 model start of production Julian dates for the THM 200-4R and 325-4L transmissions and chart B the same information for the THM 200C.

#### IMPORTANT: The highlighted transmission models and service package part numbers identify those packages which include the throttle lever and bracket assembly. These service packages were not included in the original bulletin.

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.
