[SteveGT1]

Guys I had my transmission service done 2 weeks ago and at the bottom of the invoice it said "07gmzz00091 Recall 00091 --------not required at this time" does anyone know what this is?

Here it is...

F/CMVSS Noncompliance - Manual Transaxle Shifter #00091
00091 -- Manual Transaxle Shifter

Certain 2000-01 Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am Model Vehicles
Condition

General Motors has decided that certain 2000-01 Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am model vehicles equipped with manual transaxles (RPO M86) fail to conform to these Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards: (FMVSS) 114, "Theft Protection," (CMVSS) 114, "Locking System." When a driver attempts to shift from 5th gear to reverse, a shift inhibitor causes the transmission to be mechanically in 4th gear even though the shift lever indicates reverse gear. In this situation, the key can be removed from the ignition while the transmission is in a forward gear, which is not permitted by the standard.
Correction

Dealers are to disable the 5th/Reverse inhibitor by removing a retaining pin and replace the shifter assembly.
Vehicles Involved

Involved are certain 2000-01 Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am model vehicles equipped with manual transaxle (RPO M86) and built within these VIN breakpoints:

Important

Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) or GM Access Screen (Canada only) or DCS Screen 445 (IPC only) before beginning campaign repairs. [Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.]

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number. Computer listings containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and address data have been prepared, and are being furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. The customer name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with customers involved in this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.

These dealer listings may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.

That must be why the recall was unnecessary :)
