The Turbo-Hydramatic 125 (modern designation 3T40) was the first in a line of automatic transmissions from General Motors designed for transverse engine application. Introduced in 1980 in the X-body and T-body (FWD) platform vehicles the units were used across all of GMs divisions worldwide, and was augmented by later automatic four speed transaxles, starting with the 44T-4 (4T60) which bore no internal functional resemblance to the original design 3 speed transaxle other than its basic chain driven 180-degree rotated version of its longitudinally mounted Stromberg THM 180 incarnation.
