EXHIBIT 99.1

        TMT MOTOCO, A BRAZILIAN SUBSIDIARY OF TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY,
                    PROVIDES UPDATE ON RESTRUCTURING EFFORTS

TECUMSEH, Mich. and CAMPO LARGO, Brazil, April 11, 2007--TMT Motoco do Brasil
Ltda., the Brazil-based engine manufacturing subsidiary of Tecumseh Products
Company (Nasdaq: TECUA, TECUB) ("Tecumseh" or the "Company"), said today that it
is notifying all TMT Motoco employees that the unit's operations will remain
suspended following the statutory expiration of the unit's previously announced
vacation furlough on Friday, April 13th. As previously indicated, TMT Motoco is
currently pursuing a judicial restructuring under Brazilian bankruptcy law. TMT
Motoco's request for judicial restructuring was granted by the Brazilian courts
on March 28, and the subsidiary has 60 days within which to submit a
restructuring plan to the court.

In letters being sent today to TMT Motoco's approximately 680 Brazilian
employees, the employees are being informed that it has not yet been determined
whether and when the unit will resume operations, and that, for that reason, the
employment of most current TMT Motoco workers will terminate as of the end of
this week, although all payroll obligations to employees will be paid.

The employees are also being told that if and when TMT Motoco does resume
operations, on either a full or limited basis, any current TMT Motoco employees
in good standing will be offered an opportunity to apply for re-employment on a
preferential basis.

As previously announced, TMT Motoco's decision to pursue the judicial
restructuring followed the rejection of its request for a temporary stay pending
its previously announced appeal of a Brazilian court's decision, entered on
March 15, 2007, denying its request to impose financial restructuring terms on
two of its lenders.

TMT Motoco do Brasil Ltda. was created in September of 2002. Its plant is
located in the town of Campo Largo, Metropolitan area of Curitiba, in the state
of Parana, Brazil.
