    INTRODUCTION THM 180 (TRI-MATIC) We thank GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION for the informa- tion and illustrations that have made this booklet possible. This booklet contains the general description, diagnosis and overhaul procedures necessary to service the THM 180 and 180C (Tri-matic) transmission The THM 180is a rear wheel drive three speed transmission, used in both domestic and foreign vehicles. It consists of three clutch packs, one band and one overrun clutch, along with a compound planetary gearset. In the converter clutch units, a single disc torque converter clutch has been added to increase overall transmission efficiency and fuel economy. Through the use of this manual you will be able to more readily service the THM 180, and provide greater customer satisfaction. ROBERT D. CHERRNAY c.W.
