SUBJECT: THM 125C CASE COVER OIL SLOT

MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 CIMARRON EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

FIGURE 1 - CASE COVER WITH "V" SHAPED LUBE SLOT:

Beginning in late 1984 transaxle model year production, a "V" shaped slot was added to the case cover of the THM 125C transaxle at the "drive feed" oil circuit (refer to Figure 1).
This slot allows a small amount of transaxle fluid to spray onto the drive link (chain) in order to provide additional lubrication.

The slot is intentional and should not be considered as damage or wear upon inspection of the case cover.

Replacement of previous design case covers is not required when servicing the THM 125C transaxle. If replacement of the case cover becomes necessary due to damage or wear, use late type cover P/N 8653968 to service both CA and CB models. Service either design case cover following procedures listed in the Service Information Manual.
