RJ-1484-0

For the gear shift unit (GSU) for the transmission, the section (connector body) where the air inlet connector is attached does not have sufficient strength. If the screw part of the connector is repeatedly put under vibration such as gear grinding noise at the time of gear change, it may be damaged and could allow air to leak. If such air leak occurs, malfunction may occur during gear shift or clutch throw-out, and in the worst case, the vehicle could stall.

Case Number: 
RJ-1484-0

Make/model:

Issued: 
Fri, 2005-08-19
Component: 
transmission (gear shift unit)
Affected: 
393
Correction: 
The section of the GSU, i.e. connector body where the air inlet connector is attached, should be replaced with a new one, and the air inlet connector should replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. In addition, the air hose to the clutch should be changed to the air pipe, and the pipe clamp should be additionally attached. Also, the connector should be tightened to the specified torque, following the newly set instructions. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the screw part of the connector should be inspected for air leak, and if any leak is found, the permanent countermeasures should be implemented, otherwise, they should be carried out at a later date.
Identification: 
sticker (marked 'HD-51'), blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the permanent countermeasures, near the striker on the rear door pillar on the passenger's side
