ITEM 3.01   NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE
            OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF A LISTING.

         On November 15, 2006 we received a Nasdaq staff determination letter
indicating that we had failed to comply with the filing requirements for
continued listing set forth in Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and that
our stock is therefore subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market.
Nasdaq issued the letter because we have delayed filing our Form 10-Q for the
third quarter because we need additional time to close our books and evaluate
the accounting for income taxes in our interim periods.

         We intend to appeal the Nasdaq staff determination. During the appeal
process, which we expect will take four to six weeks, our stock will continue to
be listed on Nasdaq. We plan to file our Form 10-Q for the third quarter before
the appeal process is completed, which we would expect will resolve the matter
and permit our stock to continue to be listed on Nasdaq.


ITEM 7.01   REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

         On November 15, 2006, we issued a press release about succession
planning and our new financing arrangements, and on November 17, 2006, we issued
a press release about our receipt of the Nasdaq letter. We are furnishing copies
of both press releases as exhibits to this report.

TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY INITIATES SUCCESSION PLANNING,
PROVIDES ADDITIONAL DETAIL ON NEW FINANCING

Tecumseh, Michigan, November 15, 2006 . . . . Tecumseh Products Company
(NASDAQ-TECUA, TECUB) announced today that it has initiated a succession
planning process to identify candidates for several senior management positions,
including a new Chief Executive Officer, as well as senior managers in sales and
marketing.

Tecumseh's Board of Directors initiated this process in connection with the
signing of the Company's new Second Lien Credit Agreement on November 13, 2006.
Tecumseh entered into the new $100 million Second Lien Credit Agreement with
Tricap Partners LLC and completed a corresponding amendment to the February 6,
2006 First Lien Credit Agreement to obtain additional liquidity and relief from
financial covenants as it continues to focus on improving its financial
performance.

SUCCESSION PROCESS

Under the succession process, the Tecumseh Board, assisted by an advisory
committee formed under the new credit agreement, will work with an executive
recruiting firm to identify candidates for various senior management positions,
including a new CEO and senior managers in sales and marketing. The executive
recruiting firm will be selected by the Board of Directors during the coming
months.

The credit agreement provides that Tecumseh's current CEO, Todd W. Herrick, will
remain as Chairman of the Board of Directors when the new CEO is appointed. The
company has not determined a specific timetable for the transition process but
expects to move forward expeditiously.

Mr. Herrick said, "I have concluded that this is an appropriate time to seek new
leadership for the company. I intend to work closely with my successor and the
other members of the management team as we continue to focus on increasing
market penetration, reducing costs, increasing margins, streamlining production
and taking other actions aimed at strengthening Tecumseh and improving its
performance."

NEW FINANCING

The new Second Lien Credit Agreement provides $100 million in new financing on
more favorable terms than the previously amended Second Lien Credit Agreement.
Proceeds from the new agreement have been used to repay in full the outstanding
balance under the previous Second Lien Credit Agreement and to repay a portion
of the outstanding borrowings under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Company
has additional borrowing capacity under the First Lien Credit Agreement, as
amended. Both the First Lien Credit Agreement as amended and the new Second Lien
Credit Agreement have three-year terms.

Tecumseh is continuing to explore opportunities to further reduce debt and
increase liquidity, including evaluating the feasibility of asset sales.

Additional information about the new U.S. credit arrangements, as well as an
update on the Company's Brazilian debt, are contained in a Form 8-K filed today
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY REPORTS ON NASDAQ LISTING STATUS

Tecumseh, Michigan, November 17, 2006 . . . . Tecumseh Products Company
(NASDAQ-TECUA, TECUB) announced today that it received a Nasdaq staff
determination letter on November 15, 2006 indicating that the Company had failed
to comply with the filing requirements for continued listing set forth in
Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and that Tecumseh's stock is therefore
subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq issued the letter
because, as previously announced, the Company has delayed reporting its 2006
third quarter results because it needs additional time to close its books and
evaluate the accounting for income taxes in its interim periods.

Tecumseh will appeal the Nasdaq staff determination. During the appeal process,
which generally takes four to six weeks, Tecumseh stock will continue to be
listed on Nasdaq. The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q for the third
quarter before the appeal process is completed, which the Company expects will
resolve the matter and will permit Tecumseh stock to continue to be listed on
Nasdaq.
