41TE Overhaul Kit 1989-03, new and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
Rebuilding an A604 or 41TE from a 1989-2003 Caravan, Voyager, Town and Country, Neon, Stratus, Cirrus or Sebring means everything rubber has to come out. This is a new Transtec soft parts kit for that period. The listing says it includes every rubber seal, gasket, O-ring and iron-clad seal needed to put the transaxle back together, and the photo shows the pan, cover and case gaskets, the lip seals, the piston and shaft seals and the sealing rings. It does not include friction plates, steels or a filter. Buy it for a reseal, or as the seal half of a rebuild where you are supplying the clutches separately.
The 41TE shifts by trading one clutch for another, with no bands to fall back on. Underdrive, overdrive and reverse drive the gearset from the input side, and 2-4 and low/reverse hold it from the case. Each clutch is applied by a rubber-sealed piston fed through cast passages, gaskets and sealing rings. The transmission controller times each shift by learning how much oil every clutch needs to fill. Once old seals harden and leak, that volume grows, shifts flare, and the controller eventually drops into second-gear limp mode. Replacing every seal at teardown resets the hydraulic side, so the clutches you install get full apply pressure from the first drive.
An outside leak you can trace to a gasket or lip seal is a clear reason to buy this kit. For shift complaints, pull the codes and read the clutch volume index values first. ATRA's bulletin for this family gives the normal range for each clutch. One high reading points to a leak or worn pack in that circuit. High readings across the board point to line pressure or a worn input hub bushing. Our guide to 41TE slipping under load covers that split. If you have solenoid codes and clean fluid instead, start with the 41TE and A604 limp mode guide. The fault may be in the valve body or wiring, and a seal kit will not cure it.
This kit covers the four-speed A604 from its 1989 launch through the 41TE in 2003. The Center for Auto Safety notes that Chrysler renamed the A604 the 41TE in 1992 and made many running changes in the first few years, so lay the new gaskets over your old ones before you start bolting. The kit does not cover 2004 and later units, which use a separate kit we carry as the 41TE overhaul kit for 2004. It also does not fit the rear-drive 42RLE. If you are unsure which side of 2004 your transaxle falls on, send us the year and VIN and we will check. Hard parts and other kits for this family are on the 41TE collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a soft parts kit: seals, gaskets, O-rings and iron-clad seals. Frictions, steels and the filter are bought separately, or you can choose a banner kit that bundles frictions.
This kit is listed for 1989-2003. For 2004 and later 41TE units, use the 2004 overhaul kit we list separately, or send us your VIN to confirm.
Yes. Chrysler introduced it as the A604 Ultradrive in 1989 and renamed it the 41TE in 1992. This kit covers both names through 2003.
Only if the clutches are still in spec and the slip comes from a seal leak. If clutch volume readings are high and the fluid is burnt, replace the frictions at the same time.
ATF+4. Check the level hot with the engine running, then perform the quick learn with a scan tool so shift timing is relearned.
