Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following before or after the
transmission has been overhauled:
• Harsh shifting
• Shudder
• Surging
• Stalling
• Neutral/Flare
• Transmission overheating
Some customers may also comment on above normal transmission fluid temperature.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a twisted cooler line on low mileage vehicles.
Note: A twisted cooler line may cause DTC P27EC to set in the TCM on ETRS
transmissions. (RPO MHS MQC).
5758376
Inspect for a twisted cooler line, example shown in the graphic above.
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the under body panels in order to clearly
see the cooler lines.
• If the cooler line is twisted, disconnect the cooler line from the transmission auxiliary
cooler and untwist it, then reconnect the cooler line.
• If the cooler line remains misshaped after untwisting, the cooler line should be
replaced then check the transmission fluid level following SI. Add fluid if needed.
• If no concerns are found with the rubber line being misshaped, check the transmission
fluid level following SI. Add fluid if needed.
The Thermal Bypass Valve (TBV) may be the cause of the overheat if a cooler line is not
twisted or misshaped. The TBV will open at the following temperatures for the models
listed in this TSB. 6 Speed (6L80, 6L90) - 158F (70C) - TBV is external to the
transmission 8 Speed (8L90) - 194F (90C) – TBV is external to the transmission 10
Speed (10L80, 10L90, 10L1000) – 143F (61C) – TBV is within the valve body on all listed
applications expect those equipped with 3.0 (LM2) Diesel. On the LM2 Diesel the TBV is
external to the transmission.
Important: Service agents must comply with all International, Federal, State, Provincial, and/or Local laws
applicable to the activities it performs under this bulletin, including but not limited to handling, deploying,

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.
