1997 MYSTIQUE








ISSUE:
Beginning in September 1996 (transaxle serial number 6244-0000), the CD4E transaxle will contain a crimp nut design parking cam actuating lever assembly (Figure 1). This crimp nut design is serviced as an assembly excluding the parking pawl ratchet spring. In addition, the parking pawl ratchet spring has been redesigned and must only be used with the crimp nut design lever assembly. The revised design spring is blue in color (Figure 2). The previous design spring was yellow in color.

ACTION:
If replacement of the parking cam actuating lever assembly is required on a CD4E transaxle beginning with serial number 6244-0000, service with the crimp nut design park lever assembly. The assembly includes the cam, spacer, shaft, nut and actuating lever and will not be serviced separately. Only use the new design parking pawl ratchet spring (blue) with the crimp nut design park lever assembly.

NOTE:
WHEN SERVICING TRANSAXLES BUILT PRIOR TO SERIAL NUMBER 6244-0000, CONTAINING THE PREVIOUS DESIGN PARK ASSEMBLY, SERVICE THE PARKING PAWL RATCHET SPRING WITH THE PREVIOUS DESIGN (YELLOW) SPRING ONLY.
