Replying to: mdamick (May 07, 2009 10:49 am) I had one on a GM that used the rotation of the transmission shaft to produce it's own hydraulic pressure. Then a 12V solenoid let the fluid push a wedge clutch that engaged the overdrive. As the car would come to a stop, the clutch came back into 1:1 ratio. The question is: how fast does this gearbox shift when you are in an emergency braking situation and when the ABS comes into action?

This is what the dealer said from a service bulletin. Apparently the diode in the clutch assy is defective causing the PCM to fail. My 55Kmi CRD just died on the road with many engine codes. First they blamed that I ran out of fuel (with 1/4 left) then they said it was blowing fuses and was a bad harness. Now, after they spent 4 billable hours, they say its a bad PCM due to the bad diode. The good news is the PCM is under the 8/80 warranty. The bad news is that the labor and parts to replace the ac clutch is 1291 plus tax. Does this sound right or?........ Thanks

Replying to: desmo750ss (May 19, 2009 1:58 pm) The diode is used to block the spike caused by the shutting off of power to the coil that runs the clutch. That spike could cause all sorts of things to happen in the PCM. I think $1300 for the A/C clutch is high, for that they must be replacing the whole compressor. The parts manual does not show the clutch as a separate part. If you have an 8/80 warranty, why doesn't it also cover the A/C? |
