                             REGISTRANT INFORMATION

TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY
(Full Name of Registrant)

(Former Name if Applicable)

100 East Patterson Street
(Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number))

Tecumseh, Michigan 49286
(City, State and Zip Code)



                                     PART II
                             RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

     If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.) [X]

     (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
          could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[X]  (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
          Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion
          hereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day
          following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or
          transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form
          10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth
          calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

     (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)
          has been attached if applicable.


                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

          The registrant requires additional time to reflect the impact of
     transactions related to the sale of entities. As discussed in a Current
     Report on Form 8-K dated October 26, 2007, the registrant signed an
     agreement to sell its Engine & Power Train business operations to
     affiliates of Platinum Equity, LLC for $51 million in cash, subject to
     customary adjustments at closing. In addition, as discussed in a Current
     Report on Form 8-K dated November 1, 2007, the registrant signed an
     agreement to sell its Automotive & Specialty business operations to an
     affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., for $10 million in cash, subject
     to customary adjustments at closing. As a result, the registrant needs
     additional time to evaluate the impact of these actions on its consolidated
     financial statements.


                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

         James S. Nicholson        (517)             423-8427
         (Name)                    (Area Code)      (Telephone Number)

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
identify report(s). [X]Yes [ ]No


     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
[X]Yes [ ]No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.

          The registrant expects its consolidated net loss from continuing
     operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to be less than the
     comparable period of 2006. The improvement is primarily attributable to
     overhead cost reductions and reductions in amounts paid for professional
     fees. As well, the registrant expects to record a tax benefit from
     continuing operations in the third quarter of 2007, whereas a tax expense
     from continuing operations was recorded in the third quarter of 2006.
     Because the registrant has not completed closing its books, it cannot
     provide a reasonable quantitative estimate of its results at this time.

                  (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter)

hereunto duly authorized.
