A/T - 2nd Driven Gear Eliminated

NO.: 92-T-30A

DATE: June, 1992

GROUP: Auto. Transaxle

CORP. NO.: 287107

SUBJECT:
Information on Automatic Transaxle (MP6/MP7) 2nd Driven Gear Design Change

This bulletin supercedes Bulletin 92-T-30, which should be discarded.

MODELS AFFECTED:
1991 and 1992 SL1 and SL2 Sedans and SC Coupes with MP6 or MP7 automatic transaxles built after, and including VIN NZ174649.

PURPOSE:
The 2nd driven gear bearing assembly (P/N 21001502) has been eliminated due to a design change. Vehicles built with an MP6 or MP7 automatic transaxle after, and including VIN NZ174649 do not have a 2nd driven gear bearing assembly between the 2nd driven gear and the 2nd driven gear race. Also, the inner diameter of the 2nd driven gear has been reduced for a direct gear to race fit.

Only the 2nd driven gear with a reduced inner diameter will be available for service. If the 2nd driven gear is replaced on a vehicle built before, and including VIN NZ174648, remove and discard the 2nd driven gear bearing assembly.

NOTE:
The 2nd driven gear bearing assembly will still be available from Saturn Service Parts.

PARTS REQUIREMENTS:
21002606 2nd Driven Gear (New Design) - Perf (MP7)
21002605 2nd Driven Gear (New Design) - Base (MP6)
