41TE Clutch Module 1990, new and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
A Caravan, Town and Country, Voyager, Stratus or Sebring with the A604 / 41TE transaxle that flares on the 2-3 shift, slips pulling away in Drive or throws a ratio code and drops into second-gear limp mode has usually burned through friction material somewhere in the unit. This listing is a new automatic transmission friction clutch kit for the 1990-up A604, 40TE and 41TE family. It is the friction plates for a rebuild, not a hard part or a complete overhaul kit. The brand inside depends on current stock (Allomatic, Alto, BorgWarner or GFX are the lines it ships from), and the photo shows an Allomatic clutch pack.
The 41TE has no bands. Every gear comes from five multi-plate clutches: the underdrive, overdrive and reverse clutches inside the input clutch retainer, plus the 2/4 and low/reverse holding clutches in the case. The transmission controller shifts by timing the release of one clutch against the fill of the next, so it has to know exactly how much fluid each piston needs to take up its pack clearance. It stores that as the Clutch Volume Index, or CVI. As friction material wears, pack clearance grows, the CVI climbs, and the controller has a longer and longer slip window on every apply until it gives up and sets a code.
Read the CVIs before you buy anything. Each value only updates on a specific shift (2/4 on the 1-2, OD on the 2-3, L/R on a 2-1 or 3-1 coast downshift, UD on a 4-3 or 4-2) and only with the fluid warm, so the road test has to command every one. Published normal ranges are UD 24-70, OD 48-150, 2/4 20-77 and L/R 35-83. A high number with a matching slip points at that pack. Do not stop there: a leaking input clutch hub bushing, a worn pressure regulator bore or a leaking low/reverse oil feed seal will cook a brand-new set of frictions in short order. Our 41TE slipping under load guide walks through those pressure-loss causes, and the 41TE / A604 limp mode and CVI guide covers the low/reverse feed seal and solenoid switch valve faults.
The kit is listed for 1990-up A604, 40TE and 41TE transaxles in Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Eagle and Mitsubishi front-drive vehicles. That family ran for many years with internal updates, and friction counts and thicknesses are not identical across every year. Count the frictions on each clutch when you tear down and compare them with the kit, or send us your year and VIN before ordering and we will check it. This is not a 42RLE kit. For everything else that fits this unit, see the 41TE parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. This is the friction plates only. Steels are sold separately as a steel clutch kit, and seals and gaskets come in an overhaul kit. If you want everything in one box, a master rebuild kit includes frictions, steels, seals and a filter.
The kit is listed for 1990-up A604 / 40TE / 41TE transaxles, which covers front-drive Caravans and Grand Caravans of that era. Because friction counts changed over the years, send us your year and VIN or compare the plate count from your teardown before ordering.
Only if the limp mode is caused by worn clutches. Limp mode on a 41TE is also caused by solenoid pack faults, speed sensors and valve body wear. Read the codes and CVIs first; a slip code with high CVIs points at the clutches.
ATF+4. Soak the frictions in it before assembly and fill the transaxle with it afterward. Do not use a generic multi-vehicle fluid in this unit.
Yes, you should have one. The controller holds learned clutch volumes from the worn pack, so it needs to relearn after a rebuild. Until it does, shifts can be harsh or soft even with a perfect build.
No. It is listed for the front-wheel-drive A604 / 40TE / 41TE family only. The 42RLE rear-drive unit needs its own kit.
