Chrysler 4-speed automatic transmission A604 , under the brand name of the project "UltraDrive" (40TE / 41TE) was developed in 1989 for front-wheel drive cars of Chrysler (hit - Chrysler Voyager) and Dodge (Dodge Caravan) with engines from 2 to 4 liters.
Mechanical design is based on the successful 3-stage family А404 - А413
A604 is one of the first automatic transmissions, in the design of which an electronic computer was introduced, which took over all the automatic control of hydraulics, adapting to the driver's manner, optimizing the operation of all automatic transmission units, including the gas turbine engine. For Russia A604 is unique in that it was her that GAZ chose as the first and only machine in the Volga "Siber".
The first modification was carried out after 2 years of running in in 1990, when the overdrive burnout package was significantly strengthened, then the piston group of the Underdrive package was worked out for several years in a row, in 1998 the Reverse package was reinforced, followed by the oil pump (272500). The valve body was modified several times - in 1996 and 1998.
In 2003, the A604 was also modified and renamed to 40TE (Light, for motors up to 2.4L) and reinforced and the most popular - 41TE (up to 3.8 L). The design has remained practically the same. Rare modifications of this box for four-wheel drive (AWD) are named 41AE.
Only in 2007, for new models, they found funds to slightly modernize the valve body and the modification began to be called 41TES... The most popular automatic transmission in repair Chrysler and the most successful in our market from the whole house Chrysler .
For planned overhauls, the order usually includes: Filter, Repair kit for gaskets and seals, a set of clutches. Pick up repair kits - press the button on the left.
Repair kits for gaskets and seals A604 (40TE / 41TE) OverolKit, - No. 272002.
They differ for A604 before 2003 and for modifications 40TE / 41TE after 2004.
Also included in a typical bulkhead order is the Universal Clutch Kit - 272003. Suitable for both A604 and A606 families.
Filter A604 (41AE / 41TE) - disposable multi-purpose plastic filter with felt membrane - No. 272010. Change with each oil change after runs of 100 tkm.
Oil for this unpretentious box is used as Dexron III - VI. Learn more about oil.
Replacement requires 8 liters or more, depending on engine power and cooling system.The oil level is checked while the dipstick is hot. The transparency of the oil determines the need to change the oil and filter, which may be required after 20 tkm and after 60 tkm. If the oil becomes contaminated after 10 tkm of run, then remove the sump for further diagnostics and hand over the torque converter for repair - 272001.
The first generation solenoid block - 272420, until 1998, quickly failed, which led to a loss of oil pressure in the clutch packs.
Longer service life for a new one (since 1999 - left) – Solenoid block No. 272420A, which, nevertheless, after its service life (approx. 120-150 tkm) also requires repair or restoration. Solenoid block of the 2nd generation - 272420A-BW universal, suitable for the previous version, but with its own gasket.
Craftsmen repair the blocks using the Sonnax Solenoid Block Repair Kit -No. 272424. In the new modifications, Chrysler has significantly updated the filling of this block.
- Washer kit 272200 is being changed. Overheating, vibration, aging, dirty oil with pieces of iron from the shafts.
- The whole set of bearings - 272201 - has to be changed just as often.
- Retaining ring set - 272860.
First of all, the package O.D .: No. 272100 burns, with it - steel discs 272120. And then the rubberized piston Overdrive 272960 also burns, especially often in winter. The problem is associated with the solenoid block and operation with cold oil.
Most often, craftsmen order a complete set of clutches No. 272003. After changing consumables, reprogramming is required so that the computer sees fresh clutches instead of "bald" ones.
A short service life of a gas turbine engine (torque converter), which should be handed over for repair with cutting-welding after 100-120 tkm. Especially on powerful cars from a number. When working with a worn-out blocking of the transformer, beating occurs and vibrations begin to break the bushing and the pump oil seal - No. 272070.
A typical repair of the age A604 is the change of the entire Bushing Kit 272030. This is when the bushings are eaten by vibrations and the loss of oil through them causes oil starvation.
In age automatic transmissions there are:
- replacement of shaft speed sensors - No. 272436 (at the output) and 272438 (input)
- Switch selector position sensor 272410.
- various problems with the Differential bearings (272717),
- The piston is rubberized, Retainer Piston, Underdrive Clutch (272960) changes more often than others together with
- Drum, Drum Input Retainer Clutch (272554A).
These transmissions run for a long time and reliably, provided that the oil is changed annually (or after 30 tkm) and its level and quality are monitored. If the oil becomes contaminated too quickly, it is worth listening to the operation of the torque converter and not being late with its repair.

On which cars this automatic transmission family was installed:
The torque converter is an integral part of the automatic transmission, therefore, when repairing the gearbox its repair is also necessary. In a torque converter, as in an automatic transmission, it can many breakdowns occur, for example:
Chrysler Sebring lock clutch wear
destruction or wear of bearings
sticking or slipping of the overrunning clutch of the reactor
Chrysler Sebring torque converter journal wear
cutting of splines of a turbine, reactor or their development
destruction of the blocking damper or its springs
depletion on the mating parts of the piston and the Chrysler Sebring turbine
destruction or loss of their properties of oil seals and O-rings
sleeve bearing wear
wear of the aluminum parts of the reactor
destruction of turbine blades or impeller
much more
If you are interested in selling a used torque converter Chrysler Sebring Gasoline - do not rush to make a mistake! The automatic transmission fluid coupling BU is a pig in a poke, moreover, at the same price as a quality repair.We recommend that you consider replacing (exchanging) a torque converter with one that has already been restored from our warehouse or a high-quality overhaul in our company.
Installing a torque converter that has not been repaired on a newly repaired Chrysler Sebring automatic transmission with gasoline, you run the risk of immediately damaging the box again, because it will get all the dirt and wear products of the torque converter, and in the worst case, metal pieces of bearings or blades.
The cost of repairing a torque converter usually varies from 2,500 (disassembly, flushing and assembly) to 12,000 rubles (in case of severe damage), depending on the complexity of the work, the number and cost of broken parts, which in any case is cheaper than re-repairing a Chrysler Sebring automatic transmission Gasoline. The average cost of repairs, together with work and spare parts, is in the region of 4-6 thousand rubles.
We offer a quick repair of your torque converter within 1-2 hours right in front of you. You will be able to see with your own eyes all its breakdowns. At the same time, we do not take any additional money for the urgency.
1) Cutting the torque converter. You need to carefully cut the weld seam that connects the two halves, trying to leave as much metal as possible. With proper cutting, the torque converter can be easily disassembled and reassembled 2-3 more times if necessary. Unfortunately, many people who repair Chrysler Sebring Gasoline transformers approach their work carelessly, cutting off all the metal from the body the first time they cut.
2) After washing all parts from oil and wear products, the repair itself begins. If necessary, the sticker of a new clutch for blocking the hydraulic clutch of the automatic transmission Chrysler Sebring Gasoline, leveling the surface of the body under the new clutch. At this stage, unscrupulous craftsmen again have difficulties out of the blue. They grind the case for a new friction clutch so that they remove almost all the metal through and through, which leads to further through cracks. A normal craftsman does this carefully, without removing excess metal. Further, all other necessary parts are changed - bearings, O-rings, oil seal, etc.
If necessary, a new neck is welded into the bagel cover of the automatic transmission Chrysler Sebring Gasoline. This requires accuracy and precision, since usually, unskilled workers cannot even cut a hole in the lid to fit the new neck, but make it half a millimeter larger, which then leads to runout and imbalance.
2) Assembly. It is necessary to weld the two halves of the torque converter back as in the factory, while it is very important to achieve a minimum axial runout between the two halves (balancing), tightness of the seam. For a good craftsman, even the aesthetic component is important, which is why, after repair in GIDROTOR, the torque converter looks the same as a new one made at the factory.
In the video, the usual average result of our repair is a runout of 6 hundredths of a millimeter with an allowable runout of 3 tenths.
