To correct these conditions, two changes in the low and reverse clutch assembly (see Figure 1 below) were introduced in late March, 1983. The low and
reverse piston assembly is being produced with a third design lip seal retainer (see Figure 2 below) and an oil displacement insert (see Figure 3 below)
was added to the low and reverse clutch assembly. This insert displaces oil and quickens the apply of the low and reverse clutch.
When servicing any 1980-1983 THM 125/125C transaxle for a no reverse or a neutral to reverse delayed engagement, refer to the following chart:
