automatic transmission developed and produced by General Motors . The TH 425 was a derivative of theTurbo-Hydramatic 400; although some parts directly interchange; and some others will interchange with minor modifications (the internal parts spin the opposite direction in the 425; so the helical angle of the planetary gears is "reversed" and the one-way clutches freewheel in the opposite direction, for examples.) The TH 425 was developed for the 1966Oldsmobile Toronado and also used on the 1967Cadillac Eldorado and all GMC front-wheel-drive motor homes. A lighter-duty transmission known as the TH 325 replaced the TH 425 in both car lines after the 1978 model year. 1979 and laterlongitudinal engine front-wheel drive vehicles used the TH 325. The TH325 became the TH325-4L with anoverdrive added in 1982, but all vehicles using this transmission switched to more-conventionaltransverse engine mounting in 1986.Applications:
