SUBJECT: CORRECTING UPSHIFT FLARE ISSUE: 02/86-821

APPLICATION: 900 MODELS WITH B-W TYPE 37 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


A service fix has been developed to prevent the upshift flare which sometimes occurs at cold temperatures (below 32 F) and in combination with the first upshift sequence of the day. The repair consists of a new front pan (P/N 75-47-193) and a new throttle housing lever (P/N 75-64-396).

The new front cover/throttle lever combination is only effective when it has been combined with the installation of the new suction filter (See S.I. 01/85-730).

FRONT OIL COVER P/N 75-47-193

New front pans, throttle levers, dipsticks and pick-up filters have been introduced in various stages of new car production. Please note the serial numbers listed below to determine what parts are needed to complete a repair.

Pick-Up Filter, Dipstick
Installed from gearbox numbers 008-1784, 009-2744, 012-3331

Front Pan
Installed from gearbox numbers 008-018355, 009-012294

Installation Instructions:

1. Drain the transmission fluid into a clean container. Remove and discard the old pan.

2. Inspect the oil pick-up filter and install the new style, if necessary (See S.I. 01/85-730).

3. Fit a new pan gasket and install the new front pan (P/N 75-47-193).

Torque the pan bolts to 6-9 ft.lbs. (8-12 N-m).

Install dipstick (P/N 75-45-502) if not already installed (See S.I. 01-85-730).



Re-fill the transmission with ATF. It is likely that you will need to add an additional quart of ATF (Type F only). The new dipstick and pan allow for greater oil volume in the gearbox.

Check the oil level as specified in the vehicle Owner's Manual or your Service Manual.

The best results will be achieved if the level is kept at the MAX. level mark.

4. Install the new throttle lever (P/N 75-64-396) at the throttle housing.

Adjust the throttle cable as specified in your Automatic Transmission Service Manual, Sec. 4 (p. 444-3 & 4).
