SUBJECT: | New Shift Fork and Sleeve Availability for Split-Case 6MT Models |
INTRODUCTION:
This bulletin announces availability of new shift forks and the corresponding sleeve and hub assembly to address isolated customer concerns of a rattling / vibration -type sound from the shift knob. The sound is primarily reported while driving in 4th gear between 1900 and 2500 rpm.
PRODUCTION CHANGE INFORMATION:
The new components were incorporated into production on the models listed starting with these VINs:
PART INFORMATION:
The new shift forks have wider (thicker) nylon inserts on the longer fork arm to dampen the vibration. To accommodate these inserts, the groove for the fork on the outside of the sleeve has been widened. Because these parts work together in combination, these new fork and sleeve / hub assemblies must always be replaced AS A SET.

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:
REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs.
NOTE: This repair should only be performed after all other possible causes for the condition as described have been ruled out during diagnosis of the customer’s concern.
