Beginning with 1984 models, new torque converters went into production which have the blades retained into the converter pump shell by a braze
process. Blades which have moved in a converter may reduce torque multiplication causing a loss of power effect under 35 mph.
When servicing any 1981 through 1984 THM 125C, 200C, 2004R, 3254L and torque converter replacement is required, refer to the chart below for
