RESET PROCEDURE under TORQUE CONVERTER.
CAUTION: If Transaxle Control Module (TCM) is replaced or changed from one

vehicle to another, proper procedure must be used to calibrate TCM for
different equipment combinations to provide speedometer operation and
correct readings. Failure to perform this procedure will result in no
speedometer operation. See PINION FACTOR PROCEDURE .
NOTE: Transaxle control module may also be referred to as transmission control

module.
IDENTIFICATION
Transaxle identification code is stamped on identification tag mounted near solenoid assembly. Identification
code may be required when ordering replacement components.
DESCRIPTION
The 41TE/AE is an electronically-controlled 4-speed transaxle. Transaxle uses hydraulically operated clutches
controlled by the Transaxle Control Module (TCM). Transaxle consists of 3 multiple-disc input clutches, 2
multiple-disc holding clutches, accumulators and 2 planetary gear sets to provide 4 forward speeds and a
reverse gear. See Fig. 1 .
The TCM receives information from various sensors and controls solenoid assembly through transaxle control
relay. Solenoid assembly consists of 4 solenoids for controlling hydraulic pressure to 4 of the 5 transaxle
clutches.
The TCM contains an adaptive memory which learns application and release rates of transaxle components for
maximum shift efficiency. The TCM also learns the rate at which applied elements build pressure sufficient for
a speed change.
OPERATION
When gearshift is in "OD" (overdrive) position, transaxle will shift through all 4 speeds with torque converter
lock-up in overdrive. When gearshift is in "3" position, transaxle uses only 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears with 2nd-to-
3rd gear shift delayed until vehicle speed is at least 40 MPH. When operating with gearshift in "3" position,
torque converter lock-up occurs in 3rd gear for improved transaxle cooling. If engine coolant temperature
becomes excessively warm, torque converter lock-up will occur in 2nd gear. When gearshift is in "L" position,
engine braking is provided for descending grades.
NOTE: On 1994 AS bodies only, an overdrive lock-out switch is located on instrument

panel. Overdrive lock-out switch can be used to prevent transaxle from shifting
into overdrive.
Transaxle Control Module (TCM) contains a self-diagnostic system which stores a diagnostic trouble code if a
transaxle problem exists. Diagnostic trouble code can be retrieved to determine the transaxle problem area. For
information on electronic transaxle components, see the AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - 41TE & 41AE article
in this section.

SHIFT QUALITY QUICK-LEARN PROCEDURE
NOTE: This procedure quickly optimizes shift quality. Procedure must be performed
after disconnecting battery or loss of voltage supply to Transaxle Control
Module (TCM), replacing TCM, transaxle internal components, solenoid
assembly or torque converter. Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) scan
tool with proper cartridge must be used to perform shift quality quick-learn
procedure.
NOTE: Following conditions must be met when performing shift quality quick-learn
procedure: oil temperature must be greater than 60°F (16°C), brakes must be
applied when indicated, engine speed greater than 500 RPM, throttle angle less
than 3 degrees, gearshift must be moved only when indicated, gearshift must
remain in overdrive as indicated until DRB indicates procedure is completed.
NOTE: If unused replacement TCM is installed on vehicle with engine at normal

operating temperature, shift quality quick-learn procedure will cause TCM to
indicate a cold oil temperature. Oil temperature must be monitored with DRB. If
oil temperature is less than 60°F (16°C), allow engine to idle until oil
temperature is greater than 60°F (16°C). If oil temperature is greater than 200°F
(94°C), allow transaxle to cool until oil temperature is less than 200°F (94°C).
1. Connect DRB to data link connector, located near brake pedal at bottom of instrument panel. See Fig. 2 .
Using proper cartridge and DRB manufacture's instructions, move through program to enter 41TE/AE
menu. Start vehicle. Select ADJUSTMENTS function.
2. Apply brakes. Select QUICK-LEARN function. Place gearshift in Neutral and then "OD" (overdrive)
when indicated. Wait until TEST COMPLETE is indicated on DRB. Place gearshift in Park. Release
brakes. Remove DRB.

OIL COOLER FLUSHING
CAUTION: Whenever transaxle failure exists, oil cooler must be flushed. Oil cooler
by-pass valve in transaxle and torque converter must be replaced. Oil
cooler by-pass valve is located in transaxle case, behind oil pump. See
Fig. 15 . If vehicle is equipped with 2 oil coolers (one in radiator tank and
one in front of radiator), flush oil coolers separately. DO NOT attempt to
flush both oil coolers at one time.
1. Disconnect oil cooler lines at transaxle. Using hand-held suction gun filled with mineral spirits, force
mineral spirits into oil cooler return line until mineral spirits flows from oil cooler supply line. See Fig.
3.
Fig. 3: Identifying Oil Cooler Lines On Transaxle

2. Continue flushing oil cooler until mineral spirits is clear and no sign of contamination exists. Once no
contamination exists, apply compressed air on oil cooler return line in light applications until remaining
mineral spirits is blown from oil cooler and oil cooler lines.
3. Pump at least one quart of Mopar ATF Plus-Type 7176 through oil cooler to ensure oil cooler is free of
solvent. Replace oil cooler if fluid does not flow freely from oil cooler.
OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK
1. With transaxle filled to proper fluid level, disconnect oil cooler return line at transaxle. See Fig. 3 . Place
container under oil cooler return line.
CAUTION: DO NOT obtain more than one quart of fluid or transaxle may be
damaged.
2. Apply parking brake. Start engine and allow to idle. Place gearshift in Neutral. Check fluid flow from oil
cooler return line.
3. If fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 20 seconds to obtain one quart of fluid, replace oil
cooler. Reconnect oil cooler return line. Fill to proper fluid level with Mopar ATF Plus-Type 7176.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Transaxle malfunctions may be caused by poor engine performance, improper adjustments or failure of
hydraulic, mechanical or electronic components. Always begin by checking fluid level, fluid condition and shift
linkage or cable adjustment. Perform road test to determine if problem has been corrected. If problem still
exists, several tests must be performed on transaxle. See TESTING below in this article.
CAUTION: Before attempting any repair on electronic transaxles, ALWAYS check for
diagnostic trouble codes. See the appropriate AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS -
41TE & 41AE article in this section.

SHIFT LINKAGE, PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH & TRANS. RANGE SWITCH
NOTE: Shift linkage or cable adjustment can be verified by determining if vehicle will
start with gearshift in Park or Neutral positions. This indicates if Park/Neutral
switch and transmission range switch are operating properly.
1. Normal operation of Park/Neutral switch and transmission range switch provides a quick check to
confirm proper adjustment of shift linkage or cable.
2. Apply parking brake. Move gearshift into a forward gear. Move gearshift slowly into Park. Ensure
vehicle starts with gearshift in Park.
3. Move gearshift to Neutral. Ensure vehicle starts with gearshift in Neutral. If vehicle does not start in both
of these positions, shift linkage or cable must be adjusted. See the appropriate TRANSMISSION
SERVICING article:
ROAD TEST
1. Ensure shift linkage or cable is properly adjusted and fluid level and condition are okay. Add fluid and
adjust shift linkage or cable as needed.
2. Road test vehicle, operating transaxle in each gear position. Check for slipping or any variation in
shifting.
3. If vehicle operates properly at highway speeds but has poor acceleration, torque converter stator clutch
may be slipping. If acceleration through all gears is normal, but high throttle opening is required to
maintain highway speeds, torque converter stator clutch may be seized. Torque converter must be
replaced if stator clutch is defective.
4. In most cases, the clutch that is slipping can be determined by noting transaxle operation in all gear
positions and noting which clutches are applied. See Fig. 4 .
5. Process of elimination can be used to detect any unit which slips and to confirm proper operation of good
units. Although road test analysis can usually diagnose slipping units, the actual malfunction usually
cannot be decided. Practically any condition can be caused by leaking hydraulic circuits or sticking
valves.
NOTE: If torque converter is replaced or Transaxle Control Module (TCM) is changed

from one vehicle to another, proper procedure must be used to reset the break-
in procedure in TCM for the Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC)
in torque converter to prevent shudder during clutch engagement. Perform
EMCC reset procedure. Refer to EMCC RESET PROCEDURE under TORQUE

CONVERTER.
