41TE Valve Body 1995-2005, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
A 1995-2005 41TE (also stamped A604) that shifts harshly, hesitates before taking reverse, or sets a solenoid code usually needs a valve body before it needs a clutch rebuild. This remanufactured valve body replaces the worn unit in Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth minivans and the Neon, Stratus and Sebring sedans that shared the 41TE transaxle through that decade, so you install a bench-tested part instead of chasing the failure one circuit at a time.
The 41TE is a four-speed, front-wheel-drive electronic transaxle, and the valve body is its hydraulic brain. Line pressure from the pump passes through the valve body's bores and spool valves to apply the underdrive, overdrive, 2-4 and low/reverse clutches, while the solenoid pack bolted to the body carries out the shift and pressure commands from the transmission control module. On a 41TE built in the 1995-2005 window, worn bores and a tired solenoid pack are the most common reason shift quality falls apart even when the clutch packs underneath are still serviceable.
Pull the stored codes and the Clutch Volume Index values the transmission control module tracks for each clutch. A high CVI on the low/reverse clutch, paired with delayed reverse engagement, points at that clutch's piston retainer seal rather than the valve body; a solenoid or pressure code with otherwise normal CVIs points at the valve body and solenoid pack instead. Our Chrysler Ultradrive problems guide and slipping-under-load guide cover this same CVI-based diagnosis in more detail.
This valve body fits 41TE/A604 transaxles built across the 1995-2005 span, which covers Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth minivans along with the Neon, Stratus, Sebring and Cirrus sedans that used the same unit. The 41TE went through solenoid pack and valve body revisions during those years, so match the casting number and solenoid connector on your old unit, or send your year, make, model and VIN so we can verify fitment before you order. See every 41TE/42RLE-family part we stock on the 41TE parts page.
Drop the pan and change the fluid and filter at the same time so debris from the old valve body does not travel into the new one. If you are also chasing a delayed-reverse complaint, check the 41TE clutch module while the pan is down, since the low/reverse piston retainer seal is a separate common wear point on units this age. If the pump itself is worn, a tired 41TE pump will rob line pressure and make a good valve body look bad. Torque the valve body bolts in sequence to spec, refill with ATF+4, and cycle the transmission through every gear so the adaptive controller relearns against the new part.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth minivans (Caravan, Voyager, Town & Country) along with the Neon, Stratus, Sebring and Cirrus sedans used the 41TE/A604 transaxle during this span.
The 41TE went through solenoid pack and valve body casting revisions during those years, so match the casting number and solenoid connector on your old unit or send your year, make, model and VIN before ordering.
ATF+4 only.
Delayed reverse engagement with a high low/reverse Clutch Volume Index points at the low/reverse clutch's piston retainer seal rather than the valve body. Pull the CVI values to confirm before ordering parts.
Service the fluid and filter at the same time, and check the clutch module and pump if you have delayed reverse or low line pressure complaints, since either can cause symptoms that look like a bad valve body.
Yes. After refilling the fluid, cycle the transmission through every gear so the adaptive shift controller relearns against the new valve body.
