41TE Valve Body 2006, used and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2006 Town & Country, Grand Caravan, Pacifica, Sebring or PT Cruiser shifts harshly, hangs for a beat before it takes off, or has thrown a solenoid code, the valve body is usually the part giving up before the clutch packs behind it ever do. This used OEM valve body was pulled from a running 41TE and tested on the bench, giving you a verified replacement without paying for a full remanufacture.
The 41TE is a four-speed, front-wheel-drive transaxle that Chrysler controls electronically through the transmission control module, and the valve body is the hardware that carries out those electronic commands. Pump pressure flows into the valve body and gets routed by its internal bores and spool valves to the underdrive, overdrive, 2-4 and low/reverse clutches in the sequence each shift calls for, while the solenoid pack mounted on the body switches that flow on command from the computer. A worn bore or a sluggish solenoid lets pressure escape where it shouldn't, so a clutch that should apply cleanly instead slips or engages late — and on a 2006-era unit that's the far more common failure than the clutch packs themselves wearing out.
Scan for stored trouble codes before ordering any part, and if your scan tool can read Clutch Volume Index data, pull it. A high CVI reading on a particular clutch means that clutch is the worn component, not the valve body; a solenoid, pressure, or gear-ratio code paired with normal CVI values points at the valve body and its solenoid pack instead. The Chrysler 41TE / A604 Ultradrive problems guide covers the limp-mode codes in detail, and the 41TE slipping under load guide breaks down the pressure testing that rules a valve body fault in or out.
This valve body matches the A604/41TE as installed on 2006 Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth-badged vehicles that used that transaxle. The casting and solenoid connector were revised more than once over the 41TE's production run, so check the casting number and connector style on the unit you're replacing before you order, or send over your year, make, model and VIN and we'll verify the correct match. The full lineup of 41TE parts we stock is on the 41TE parts page.
Pull the pan and change the fluid and filter while the valve body is out — old debris left in the case is one of the quickest ways to take down a good replacement part. If you're chasing hesitation on acceleration alongside the shift problems, look at the 41TE overhaul kit for the seals and frictions that commonly need attention at the same time, and inspect the 41TE input drum if the underdrive clutch has a slipping history. Torque the valve body bolts down in sequence to spec, use ATF+4 only, and run the transmission through each gear repeatedly after the refill so the adaptive controller relearns against the replacement part.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Town & Country, Grand Caravan, Pacifica, Sebring and PT Cruiser all used the 41TE in 2006. Match the casting number on your old unit or send your VIN to confirm your exact trim, since connector and casting details varied across these platforms.
It's a used OEM unit pulled from a running 41TE and tested on the bench before being listed.
ATF+4 only.
It can be, but pull stored codes and Clutch Volume Index values first. A high CVI on a specific clutch points at that clutch pack rather than the valve body, so confirm before you order.
Service the fluid and filter at the same time, and look at the overhaul kit seals and input drum if you also have acceleration hesitation or a history of clutch slipping.
Yes. After refilling the fluid, cycle the transmission through every gear a few times so the adaptive shift controller relearns against the new part.
