41TE Valve Body 1992-1994, new other (see details) and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
A Chrysler, Dodge or Plymouth minivan from the early 41TE years that shifts harsh, flares between gears, slips under load, or has dropped into limp mode with a stored solenoid code is almost always pointing at the valve body before anything else in the transmission. This listing is a new, other-condition valve body tagged to 1992-1994 production, back when this unit was still commonly referred to by its original A604 designation.
The 41TE, known as the A604 in its early years, is a four-speed, electronically controlled front-wheel-drive transaxle, and the valve body is where the transmission's hydraulics meet its electronics. It routes line pressure through a casting full of precision bores and spool valves to apply each clutch pack, and it carries the solenoid pack the transmission computer uses to time every shift. A worn bore, a cocked spool valve, or a weak solenoid in the pack does not fail quietly - it throws off pressure to more than one clutch circuit at once, which is why 41TE problems so often show up as a cluster of symptoms rather than a single bad gear.
A scan tool pull of stored codes, combined with a clutch volume index (CVI) check, is the standard way to separate a valve body or solenoid pack problem from worn clutch packs on this platform. Our Chrysler 41TE/A604 Ultradrive problems guide covers how CVI values point to specific clutches versus a valve body or solenoid switch valve fault, and our 41TE slipping under load guide walks through line-pressure symptoms that can look identical to a valve body problem but trace to a worn pressure regulator valve instead.
This valve body is tagged to 1992-1994 production. The 41TE/A604 ran with more than one valve body and solenoid pack revision across its long production life, and early units like this one are not a drop-in match for later 41TE or 42RLE applications. Pull your current valve body and match the casting and solenoid pack connector, or send us your year and VIN, before ordering. See the full 41TE parts collection for other year ranges and revisions we stock.
Drop the pan and change the filter and ATF+4 fluid in the same job so debris from the old, worn unit does not circulate through the new valve body. Torque the case bolts in the sequence specified for this casting, not around the edge, to keep the separator plate sealing correctly, and clear adaptive memory so the computer relearns shift timing against the new hydraulics instead of compensating for the old unit's wear. If the complaint includes a slipping underdrive or overdrive clutch alongside the shift quality issue, pair this job with our 41TE clutch module so you are not back in the pan a second time, and add a 41TE transmission cooler if the vehicle has a history of running hot.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. A604 is the original factory designation for this transmission before Chrysler renamed it 41TE. This listing is tagged to 1992-1994 production from that era.
No. The 41TE/A604 went through more than one valve body and solenoid pack revision across its production life, and this casting is specific to 1992-1994. Check our full 41TE parts collection for other year ranges, or send your year and VIN to confirm.
It means the part is new, unused stock, but may show cosmetic signs of age or storage, such as box wear, rather than being a sealed retail unit. It has not been installed or run in a vehicle.
Harsh or flared shifts, slipping between gears, delayed engagement into drive or reverse, and limp mode defaulting to second gear with a stored solenoid pack code. A clutch volume index check helps separate this from worn clutch packs.
ATF+4, filled to spec after the valve body and filter are installed.
Change the filter and fluid in the same job. If the complaint includes a slipping clutch alongside the shift quality issue, add a clutch module, and a transmission cooler is worth it if the vehicle has run hot.
