41TE Valve Body 2013, used and ready to install. Fits the 41TE. Ships fast from the USA.
A Chrysler or Dodge minivan on the 41TE that shifts harsh, slips between gears, hesitates before it moves into Drive or Reverse, or drops into limp mode with a stored solenoid code is pointing straight at the valve body before anything else gets checked. This is a used 41TE valve body pulled and tested from a 2013 model-year application, ready to install in place of a worn or damaged original.
The 41TE is Chrysler's electronically shifted front-wheel-drive automatic, and the valve body is where that control actually happens. Line pressure arrives from the pump and the valve body routes it through a casting full of precision bores and spool valves to apply the clutch packs and bands that make each gear. Because the 41TE shifts electronically rather than purely hydraulically, the shift and pressure control solenoids the transmission computer commands live on the valve body itself - the computer never touches a clutch pack directly, it tells the valve body which bore to pressurize and when, and a worn bore or a sticking solenoid turns into a shift complaint fast.
The 41TE, badged A604 on earlier applications, stores a Clutch Volume Index for each clutch pack, and a CVI that has climbed out of range is the fastest way to tell worn clutches apart from a valve body or solenoid problem - our 41TE/A604 Ultradrive problems guide walks through pulling and reading those values with a scan tool. If the complaint is specifically slipping under load with no codes stored, read our 41TE slipping under load guide before ordering - a worn pressure regulator bore or a leaking underdrive clutch circuit can produce the same symptom as a bad valve body.
This unit is pulled from a 2013 model-year application. The 41TE ran for over two decades across Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and Jeep platforms with running production changes, so two vehicles in the same model year can still carry different valve body revisions depending on build date and options. Match the casting number and solenoid connector on your old valve body against this listing before ordering, or send us your year, make, model and VIN and we will confirm the right unit. The full range of years we stock is on the 41TE parts collection page, including 2006 and 2007 versions if your build date lands closer to one of those.
Drop the pan and change the filter in the same job so debris from the worn unit does not circulate through the new valve body - a full 41TE overhaul kit covers the filter, pan gasket and new frictions and steels if the transmission is due for a complete service rather than a spot fix. Refill with ATF+4, torque the pan and valve body bolts to spec in sequence, and run the transmission's adaptive relearn with a scan tool after the first startup - skipping the relearn is the most common reason a good valve body still shifts firm right after install. If the original solenoid pack has any history of codes, pair this job with a solenoid pack kit rather than reusing a questionable one.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Match the casting number and solenoid connector on your current valve body against this listing, or send us your year, make, model and VIN and we will confirm the right unit before you order.
Harsh or flared shifts, slipping between gears, converter shudder, and a stored solenoid or ratio code all point to the valve body first. A Clutch Volume Index reading out of range on a specific clutch points more toward worn clutches.
ATF+4, filled to the level spec after the pan and filter are reinstalled.
Yes - run the transmission's adaptive relearn with a scan tool. Skipping it is the most common reason a good valve body still shifts firm after install.
They're close relatives - the 42RLE is the rear-wheel-drive version of the same Ultradrive family used in the Jeep Liberty, and some internal parts cross over, but they are not identical units.
Sometimes, but delayed reverse on the 41TE is frequently caused by the low/reverse piston retainer oil feed seal rather than the valve body - check our Ultradrive problems guide before assuming it's the valve body.
