Chrysler 41TE (A-604) Piston Housing Now Included in TransTec Kits

TransTec rebuild kits for the Chrysler 41TE (A-604) now contain the low/ reverse piston housing. This housing is stamped steel and is susceptible to distortion, especially around the screw holes. Therefore, the housing should always be replaced during a rebuild. In fact, ATRA recommends using a new housing in their recent technical bulletin #231.

Toyota Corolla, MY09-10, 1.8L Unichip PnP Installation Instructions

The OEM and PnP Plugs have release tabs that must be pressed before rotating the locking levers. Failure to use the release tabs may result in plug damage. Connect and disconnect the PnP connectors several times to get a feel for how the plugs work. When rotating the OEM and PnP Plug locking levers, if the Plug is fully seated in the connector the locking mechanism will be correctly engaged and the plug will be drawn down into the connector. If the Plug is not fully seated, the locking mechanism will not be fully seated and although the locking lever rotates and feels like it locks, the locking mechanism will not be engaged and the plug will vibrate loose resulting in illumination of multiple dash lights.

2000-2005 Cadillar Deville Inner Front Pillar, Center Pillar and Rear Wheelhouse Sectioning

When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment, personal injury or unnecessary SIR system repairs. The full bodyside inner panel comes as a one piece assembly and can be replaced at factory seams after removal of outer panel, roof and glass. Any one of these procedures can be performed separately, or in any combination dependent upon the extent of damage to the vehicle.

Peugeot 206 - Central Door Locking Problem

Fault: Central door locking faults including the Central door locking system not operating on one or more doors and the Central door locking system intermittently locking and then immediately unlocking.
Cause: Repeated problems of Central Door Locking (CDL) failure have been traced to water ingress into the harness plug connection to the CDL unit within the door, causing bad corrosion to the terminals. The central locking motor / switch and lock assembly are all encapsulated within one unit, and individual components cannot be renewed separately. It is not possible to diagnose CDL faults by disconnecting solenoids / switches etc because the Built in Systems Interface (BSI) control module logs a fault. Until the fault is rectified the CDL will unlock instantly.

GRIP Chevy Cobalt Body Kit Installation

All GRIP body kits need to be properly sanded and primed before painting, even if the part arrives pre-primed. Failure to properly prepare parts before painting can result in poor paint finish and adhesion. Please prefit parts before painting! Once a part has been painted or modified in any way it cannot be returned.
1: Look over vehicle before installing the body kit to make note of all attachment points on existing fascia. Since GRIP uses all existing attachment points, it is very important not to harm existing mounting holes and / or fasteners. Some fasteners that are drilled out cannot be reused. It is very important to use special care when removing the reusable fasteners from the panels since they will not be provided by GRIP. GRIP only provides non-reusable fasteners with its kits.
