Related Service Document PIP3427A - SES light on, DTC P0757, harsh shifts, delayed 2-3 shift, no third gear or slip in third or reverse, or a 2-3 shift flare. Debris stuck in the #11 check ball, or a sticking pintle in the 2-3 shift solenoid. Inspection Procedure
1. Using the exploded view (Illus. A), inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the customer s concern. IF VALVE BODY CLEANING IS NOT REQUIRED, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BORES UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO VERIFY MOVEMENT OF VALVES. 2. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances between the valves and bores. 3. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, then replace the valve body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair order. Disassembly/Reassembly 1. If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and burr, then inspect movement in the valve s normal position. If no other debris or restrictions are found, then reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission. 2. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission component failure, then disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body components. Keeping individual bore parts separated will make reassembly easier. Use the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts. 3. Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean aluminum pan), clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air. Use appropriate eye protection. 4. Clean individual valve body components with GM Brake Clean, or equivalent. Coat each valve with clean ATF and reassemble in each bore. Check each valve for free movement during assembly of each bore. Important: Position the valve body as shown in the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these 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 your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
