# INFORMATION ON TRANSAXLE FLUID

#### SUBJECT: Information on Saturn Transaxle Fluid

#### TO: Fixed Operations Managers

The following information describes Saturn Corporation's service position on the use of the newly released Saturn Transaxle Fluid (automatic and manual) in Saturn vehicles.

Saturn Transaxle Fluid P/N 21005966 (one quart container) and P/N 21005967 (55 gallon drum) has been thoroughly tested in Saturn vehicles and meets all requirements of the vehicle's transaxle. Saturn Transaxle Fluid improves automatic transaxle shift smoothness and reduces clutch shudder. Therefore, Saturn recommends that when service is required on a Saturn vehicle, that the vehicle be serviced with Saturn Transaxle Fluid. However, when circumstances arise that require a Saturn transaxle to be serviced or repaired at a non-Saturn facility, not having Saturn Transaxle Fluid, DEXRON-IIE or DEXRON-III transaxle fluid may be used in a Saturn vehicle. Saturn Transaxle Fluid is fully compatible with DEXRON-IIE or DEXRON-III transaxle fluid.

Saturn Transaxle Fluid is only approved for use in 1991-1995 Saturn vehicles. During 1995 model production, Saturn Transaxle Fluid will be introduced into production vehicles.

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.
