41TE Input Drum 2013, used and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
This used input drum assembly came out of a 2013 Dodge Avenger with the four-speed automatic, the 40TE version of Chrysler's A604/41TE family. It is in good used condition and comes as shown, with the drum and input shaft together. Avenger owners, and anyone rebuilding a late four-speed from this family, usually need it when their own drum shows heat cracks, worn plate splines or scored piston bores, the kind of damage that a new clutch kit cannot fix.
The 40TE is the lighter-duty member of the 41TE family and works the same way: no bands, five clutches, and shifts timed electronically by the controller. The input drum, sometimes called the input clutch retainer, is splined to the input shaft and contains three of those five clutches. Underdrive drives first, second and third. Overdrive drives third and fourth. Reverse is applied only in reverse. Because three clutches share one housing, a single crack or worn seal land on this drum can show up as slip in several gears at once.
Check the clutch volume index for each clutch with a scan tool before pulling the transaxle. ATRA describes the CVI as the learned volume of fluid needed to apply a clutch, which rises as the clutch wears or leaks. Elevated underdrive, overdrive or reverse values with normal 2-4 and low/reverse readings point to this drum. Our Ultradrive limp mode and CVI guide explains how to read those values and separate an electrical fault from a mechanical one. With the unit apart, inspect the drum for cracks and blue heat marks, and check the input clutch hub bushing, which is a known underdrive leak point covered in our 41TE slipping-under-load guide.
The listing identifies the donor as a 2013 Dodge Avenger and the unit as a 40TE/41TE (A604). In 2013 the four-speed in this family was used behind four-cylinder engines in models such as the Avenger, Chrysler 200 and Dodge Journey; V6 versions of those cars and every 2013 minivan used the six-speed 62TE, which this drum does not fit. Late units also differ from early A604 drums, so compare the input shaft, drum outer edge and casting numbers to your old part, or send us your year and VIN and we will verify it. More parts for this family are on our 41TE collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. 2013 minivans use the six-speed 62TE. This drum is for the four-speed 40TE/41TE, like the one in the 2013 Avenger it came from.
The 40TE is a lighter-duty version of the 41TE used behind smaller engines. It works the same way, with three clutches in the input drum. Compare your old drum or send your VIN to confirm a match.
Good used condition, removed from a 2013 Dodge Avenger and sold as pictured with the input shaft.
ATF+4, with a new filter after the rebuild.
Yes. Run the Quick Learn procedure and road test so the controller relearns the clutch volume index for each clutch; skipping it can cause harsh or flaring shifts.
