Some owners of the above models equipped with a Hydra-Matic 4T65-E transaxle with a Julian Date prior to 0045 may comment on a whine noise in PARK and/or NEUTRAL or a Service Engine Soon or Service Vehicle Soon lamp that is illuminated. Upon investigation, a DTC P0741 or P0742 may be found. Cause The above condition may be due to drive sprocket support bearing fluting and/or bearing failure. Correction Replace the drive sprocket support bearing. Inspect the channel plate and drive sprocket for any abnormal wear, Turbine shaft for cut seals and/or nicks, and chain for excessive play due to failed bearings. Important: When installing the new bearing, the part number MUST be visible (facing upward). Before installing the drive sprocket, lubricate the bearing assembly with J 36850 assembly lubricant. Refer to the 4T65-E Unit Repair Section for the installation procedure.

Due to the knocking noise and slow leaking of antifreeze, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the timing belt, tensioner arm and water pump. The following is information and photos regarding the repair procedure as well as replacing idler bearings for the timing belt and accessory belts. TIMING BELT (Loosen Crank / Water Pump Bolts) Before jacking the car up, MTX and ATX PGT’s should turn their wheel to the left and pop out the rubber plug in the splash well. The crank bolt is accessible directly inline with this hole pictured here……… Put the MTX in forth gear and set the parking brake firmly. The bolt can easily be broken loose with a breaker bar. ATX trannys will have to brace the breaker bar against the frame rail and tap the starter to crank the engine and pop the bolt loose. Next, while the car is still on the ground with all the belts still on, take a 10 mm combination wrench and crack the four water pump pulley bolts loose. It’s much easier now with the driveline and belts holding the pulley(s) still.
