Celebrity V6-173 2.8L VIN X 2-bbl (1985)
FIGURE 2 - THM 125/125C TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
A new design torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid (refer Figure 1), which has an internal rubber seal that will prevent sediment from sticking to the
electromagnetic portion of the solenoid, is in production in all 1987 THM 125C models built after June 8, 1987 (Julian Date 159, refer Figure 2). The
new design solenoid will reduce the potential of TCC Solenoid sticking and the resulting condition of the engine stalling while shifting into reverse or
drive.

IMPORTANT:
Some vehicles equipped with Windsor Transaxles built between February 15th and February 25th, 1987, (Julian dates 049 - 056), may have suspect
Torque Converter clutch (TCC) solenoids. The suspect solenoids, which are of the previous design, may stay applied after transaxle has been operated at
normal operating temperatures. This condition could result in engine stall while engaging reverse or drive range.
