# REDUCE THROTTLE PEDAL EFFORT ELIMINATE RETURN SPRING

#### MODELS AFFECTED: ALL 440-T4 TRANSAXLES

In April of 1985, the spring was deleted from the throttle valve lever and bracket assembly on 440-T4 transaxles (Figure 1 - Item 50) to reduce throttle pedal effort. The change was also incorporated on all Service Replacement Transmission Assembly (SRTA) models.

Do not install a throttle valve lever return spring on any 440-T4 transaxle that is not so equipped. When servicing a 440-T4 built prior to this running change, the spring may be eliminated to reduce throttle pedal effort.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
