SERVICE INFORMATION:
Some HYDRA-MATIC 4L80-E/4L80-EHD Transmissions may experience a buzz or vibration noise while in park or neutral. This is caused by line pressure instability in the pressure regulator valve line-up. Changes made to the Pump Assembly will eliminate this condition. A service package is released for an on-vehicle correction to the Pressure Regulator Valve lineup in the Pump Assembly.
