ISSUE
Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit at least one of the following conditions:
- Harsh engagement
- Delayed engagement
- Harsh shift
- Delayed shift
- Illuminated MIL with DTC P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P0761, P0762, P0766, P0767, P0771, P0772, P2700, P2701, P2702, P2703, P2704, P2705, P2707, P2708, P0729, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P0735, P0736, P076F, P07D9, P07F6 and/or P07F7 stored in the PCM or TCM .
This may be due to axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder sleeve causing hydraulic circuit leaks.
ACTION
For vehicles that meet all of the criteria in the Issue and Model statements, follow the Service Procedure to verify hydraulic circuit leakage and, if instructed, replace the CDF clutch cylinder and the clutch and planetary container cylinder.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE A - VCMM PVT IS AVAILABLE
- Install the VCMM
PVT to the transmission line pressure port. (Figure 1)NOTE: Some vehicle models may require the removal of the transmission park manual release cable and bracket to gain access to the line pressure port through the transmission fluid heat exchanger access hole. Refer to the video link above and WSM , Section 307-01 > Transmission Line Pressure Test.NOTE: The line pressure port is an M10X1.0 thread. Do not use a National Pipe Thread (NPT) fitting when installing pressure reading equipment. If an NPT fitting is used, damage to the transmission case will occur.NOTE: The transmission extension hose kit requires a 1/4 in. Joint Industry Council (JIC) male adapter.NOTE: All NPT fittings must be assembled with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape or paste to prevent leaks.
