The tightening torque for the bolts that hold the drive plate and the torque converter together have been changed and are different for 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines. In addition, the tightening torques given for the transmission range switch are incorrect in certain service manuals.

Cars Affected:

1994 900 models with automatic transmissions

Action:

Service manuals should be changed as follows:

1. Page 024-4 in Service Manual 4:2 "Automatic Transmission":

Torque converter/actuator
4 cylinder 60 N-m (44 ft.lb.) M10.
6 cylinder 30 N-m (22 ft.lb.) M8.

Transmission range switch/transmission (bolt) 25 N-m (18.5 ft.lb.).

Lever/transmission range switch 25 N-m (18.5 ft.lb.).

2. Add the following text to page 024-4:

Tightening torque
60 N-m (44 ft.lb.) 4 cylinder.
30 N-m (22 ft.lb.) 6 cylinder.

3. Page 442-7 in Service Manual 4:2 "Automatic Transmission":
2 Refit the transmission range switch's nut.
Tightening torque 8 N-m (6 ft.lb.).

3 Screw in the lever and move the selector lever to position N.
Tightening torque 25 N-m (18.5 ft.lb.).

4 Tighten the sensor with the screw(s) so that the arrow on the lever corresponds to the marking on the transmission range switch.
Tightening torque 25 N-m (18.5 ft.lb.).

Check that the engine starts with the selector lever in positions P and N, and that the reversing light only goes on in position R.
