DOES ANY BODY KNOWS THE MODEL AND MAKE OF AN AUTO TRANY ON A 1981 124 SPIDER?

WHO ARE YOU YELLING AT?!?!?!?

I looked and looked and found nothing. I checked my Factory Service Manual too, and it doesn't really say either. Other than brand is there anything else you need to know about it? I have all kinds of specs, just don't know who makes it for them.

i'm not sure if they figure it out or not. Sounds like TH180 is the transmission. i dunno anything about transmissions, so hope it makes sense to you....

also found this:

The transmissions installed in Fiat Spiders were built by OPEL.
However the internals are the same as what was used in the Chevy
Chevette.

oh, and a place that sells overhaul parts:

it is not exactly the same as the chevette though.. while it is the TH180.. it was originally designed for use by GM's Opel Division, so there are some small differences.

the Fiat info is incorrect, the autos weren't used until 79 when the 2L debuted.

I saw an automatic 124 sedan once and the manual for my 124 sedan also covers an automatic. I've never heard of a pre-`79 124 spider automatic.

You're right about the sedans, I was thinking only 124 Spiders. I'm not sure which auto the sedans used
