GENERAL INFORMATION
The 41TE four-speed FWD transaxle uses fully-
adaptive controls. Adaptive controls are those which
perform their functions based on real-time feedback
sensor information. The transaxle uses hydraulically
applied clutches to shift a planetary gear train.
TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
The 41TE transaxle identification code is printed
on a label. The label is located on the transaxle case
next to the solenoid assembly (Fig. 1). Refer to Figure 2 for an internal view of the tran-
saxle assembly.

FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
The transmission and differential sump have a
common oil sump with a communicating opening
between the two. The torque converter fills in both the PPark and N
Neutral positions. Place the selector lever in PPark to
check the fluid level. The engine should be running
at idle speed for at least one minute, with the
vehicle on level ground. This will assure com-
plete oil level stabilization between differential
and transmission. The fluid should be at normal
operating temperature (approximately 82 C. or 180 F.).
The fluid level is correct if it is in the HOTregion
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows the pump to take in air along with the
fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the
fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be low and build
up slowly. Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too
high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, the gears
churn up foam and cause the same conditions which
occur with a low fluid level. In either case, the air bubbles can cause over heat-
ing, fluid oxidation, and varnishing, which can inter-
fere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator opera-
tion. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the
transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak. Along with fluid level, it is important to check the
condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells burned,
and is contaminated with metal or friction material
particles, a complete transaxle overhaul is needed. Be
sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely. If
there is any doubt about its condition, drain out a
sample for a double check. After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick
fully to seal out water and dirt.
SELECTION OF LUBRICANT
It is important that the proper lubricant be used in
the 41TE transaxle. MOPAR tATF PLUS (Automatic
Transmission FluidÐtype 7176) should be used to aid
in assuring optimum transmission performance. Flu-
ids of the type labeled DEXRON II Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid are not recommended . DEXRON II
can be used only if the recommended fluid is not
available. If more than a small amount of DEXRON II
is used shudder or shift quality problems may result. It
is important that the transmission fluid be maintained
at the prescribed level using the recommended fluids.
SPECIAL ADDITIVES
Chrysler Corporation does not recommend the addi-
tion of any fluids to the transaxle, other than the
automatic transmission fluid listed above. An excep- tion to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in
detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers
should be avoided, since they may adversely affect
seals.
FLUID AND FILTER CHANGES
When the factory fill fluid is changed, only fluids
labeled MOPAR tATF PLUS (Automatic Transmis-
sion fluid) Type 7176 should be used. A filter change
should be made at the time of the oil change. Also
the magnet (on the inside of the oil pan) should be
cleaned with a clean, dry cloth. If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason, the
fluid and filter should be changed.
FLUID DRAIN AND REFILL
(1) Raise vehicle on a hoist (See Lubrication,
Group 0). Place a drain container with a large open-
ing, under transaxle oil pan. (2) Loosen pan bolts and tap the pan at one corner
to break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then remove
the oil pan. (3) Install a new filter and O-ring on bottom of the
valve body. (4) Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan
using new MOPAR tAdhesive Sealant. Tighten oil
pan bolts to 19 N Im (165 in. lbs.).
(5) Pour four quarts of MOPAR tATF PLUS (Au-
tomatic Transmission Fluid) Type 7176 through the
fill tube. (6) Start engine and allow to idle for at least one
minute. Then, with parking and service brakes ap-
plied, move selector lever momentarily to each posi-
tion, ending in the park or neutral position. (7) Add sufficient fluid to bring level to 1/8 inch
below the ADD mark. Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal op-
erating temperature. The level should be in the HOT
region (Fig. 3).
To prevent dirt from entering transaxle, make cer-
tain that dipstick is seated into the dipstick fill tube
(Fig. 4).
ROAD TEST
Prior to performing a road test, be certain that the
fluid level and condition, and control cable adjust-
ment have been checked and approved.

tor valve. (3) Clutch circuit leaks are indicated if pressures do
not fall within the specified pressure range. (4) If the overdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5
psi in step (6) of Test Three, a worn reaction shaft seal
ring is indicated.
CLUTCH AIR PRESSURE TESTS
Inoperative clutches can be located using a series of
tests by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure
(Figs. 2 and 3). The clutches may be tested by applying
air pressure to their respective passages after the valve
body has been removed and Tool 6056 has been in-
stalled. To make air pressure tests, proceed as follows: The compressed air supply must be free of all
dirt and moisture. Use a pressure of 30 psi. Remove oil pan and valve body. See Valve body
removal.
OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the overdrive clutch apply
passage and watch for the push/pull piston to move

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
Throughout this group, references to the Chrysler
Corporation vehicle family identification code is used
when describing a procedure that is unique to that
vehicle. Refer to Introduction Group of this manual for
detailed information on vehicle identification. If a
procedure is common to all vehicles covered in this
manual, no reference will be made to a vehicle family
code.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: WHEN SERVICING A VEHICLE EQUIPPED
WITH AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM, REVIEW ALL
PRECAUTIONS IN GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN SER-
VICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PERSONAL INJURY
CAN RESULT. USE A BREATHING FILTER WHEN SPRAYING
PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN A CONFINED AREA. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETRO-
LEUM OR ALCOHOL BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS.
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. DO NOT VENTURE UNDER A HOISTED VEHICLE
THAT IS NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTED ON SAFETY
STANDS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: When holes must be drilled or punched in
a inner body panel, verify depth of space to the outer
body panel, electrical wiring, or other components.
Damage to vehicle can result. Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on
painted surfaces. Damage to finish can result. Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents
on painted or upholstered surfaces. Damage to finish
or color can result. Do not hammer or pound on plastic trim panel
attaching fasteners when servicing interior trim. Plas-
tic panel can break.
Chrysler Corporation uses many different types of
push-in fasteners to secure the interior and exterior
trim to the body . Most of these fasteners can be reused
to assemble the trim during various repair procedures.
At times a push-in fastener cannot be removed without
damaging the fastener or the component it is holding.
If it is not possible to remove a fastener without
damaging a component or body, cut or brake the
fastener and use a new one when installing the com-
ponent. Never pry or pound on a plastic or press-board
trim component. Using a suitable fork-type prying
device, pry the fastener from the retaining hole behind
the component being removed. When installing, verify
that fastener is aligned with the retaining hole, by
hand, push directly on or over the fastener until it
seats. Apply a low force pull to the panel to verify that
it is secure. When it is necessary to remove components to service
another, it should not be necessary to apply excessive
force or bend a component to remove it. Before damag-
ing a component to be reused, verify there is no hidden
fasteners or captured edges holding the component in.
Often a fastener is hidden by carpeting nap or trim
plugs.

SIGHT GLASS REFRIGERANT LEVEL INSPECTION
The filter-drier is equipped with a sight glass (Fig.
1) that is used as a refrigerant level indicator only.
This sight glass is not to be used for A/C perfor-
mance testing. To check the refrigerant level re-
move the vehicle jack. Then clean the sight glass,
start and warm up engine, and hold rpm slightly
above idle (1100 rpm). Place the air conditioning con-
trol on A/C, RECIRC and high blower. The work
area should be at least 21ÉC (70ÉF). If a Fixed Dis-
placement type compressor does not engage, the re-
frigerant level is probably too low for the Low
Pressure Cut-Off switch to detect. Or, with a Vari-
able Displacement compressor, for the Differential
Pressure Cut-off to detect. If compressor clutch does
not engage, test the refrigerant system for leaks. If
compressor clutch engages, allow approximately one
minute for refrigerant to stabilize. View refrigerant
through sight glass. The suction line should be cold
to the touch and the sight glass should be clear.
If foam or bubbles are visible in sight glass, the re- frigerant level is probably low. Occasional foam or
bubbles are normal when the work area temperature
is above 43ÉC (110ÉF) or below 21ÉC (70ÉF). If suction
line is cold and occasional bubbles are visible in the
sight glass, block the condenser air flow. This will in-
crease the compressor discharge pressure. Do not al-
low engine to over heat. Bubbles should dissipate.
If not, the refrigerant level is low.
CAUTION: Do not allow engine to over heat while
blocking the condenser air flow.
WARNING: R-12 REFRIGERANT IS DETRIMENTAL
TO THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN RELEASED TO THE
ATMOSPHERE. DO NOT ADD R-12 REFRIGERANT
TO A SYSTEM THAT HAS A KNOWN LEAK.
The refrigerant system will not be low on (R-12)
unless there is a leak. Find and repair the leak be-
fore charging.
R-12 REFRIGERANT EQUIPMENT
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE USED
WHEN SERVICING AN AIR CONDITIONING REFRIG-
ERANT SYSTEM. TURN OFF (ROTATE CLOCKWISE)
ALL VALVES ON THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS OPERATION.
PERSONNEL INJURY CAN RESULT.
When servicing an air conditioning system, an A/C
charging station is recommended (Fig. 2). An (R-12)
refrigerant recovery/recycling device (Fig. 3) should
also be used. This device should meet SAE standards.
Contact an automotive service equipment supplier
for refrigerant recycling/recovering equipment. Refer
to the operating instructions provided with the
equipment for proper operation. A manifold gauge set (Fig. 4) must also be used in
conjunction with the charging and/or recovery/recy-
cling device. The service hoses on the gauge set be-
ing used should have manual (turn wheel) or
automatic back flow valves at the service port con-
nector ends. This will prevent refrigerant from being
release into the atmosphere.
Fig. 1 Filter Drier and Sight Glass
24 - 8 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Ä

(1) Attach manifold gauge set.
(2) Open the windows of the passenger compart-
ment and set the air conditioning controls to A/C,
RECIRC, and Low blower speed. (3) Start the engine and allow it to warm up to
normal running temperature. (4) If the air conditioning compressor does not en-
gage, disconnect the low pressure cut-off switch.
Place a jumper wire across the terminals in the con-
nector boot. If the compressor still does not engage, a
problem exists in the compressor clutch feed circuit. (6) Hold the engine speed at 1400 rpm.
(7) Following the instructions provided with the
charging equipment being used. Charge through the
suction side of the system. Use enough refrigerant to
clear the sight glass in the filter drier. (8) At the point when the sight glass clears, note
the weight of the refrigerant supply drum or the
level in the charging cylinder. Then add an addi-
tional 340 g (12 oz) of refrigerant to the system. Re- move the jumper wire from the low pressure cut-off
switch connector and connect the cut-off switch.
(9) Test the over all performance of the air condi-
tioner as described in A/C Overall Performance Test
in this Group. Close all valves on the charging equip-
ment and disconnect the hoses from the service ports
as described in the Manifold Gauge Set Connections
section of this Group. Install the service port caps.
DISCHARGING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
(R-12) refrigerant is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
that can contribute to the depletion of the ozone
layer in the upper atmosphere. To help protect the
ozone layer, an R-12 refrigerant recycling device
must be used. Use this device when it is necessary to
empty the refrigerant system. Contact an automotive
service equipment supplier for refrigerant recycling
equipment. Refer to the operating instructions pro-
vided with the recycling equipment for proper opera-
tion.
EVACUATING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
If the A/C system has been open to the atmosphere,
it must be evacuated before the system can be
charged. Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant
will raise the compressor head pressure above accept-
able operating levels. This will reduce the perfor-
mance of the air conditioner and damage the
compressor. Moisture will boil at near room temper-
ature when exposed to vacuum. To evacuate the re-
frigerant system: (1) Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant
recovery machine, and a manifold gauge set with
vacuum pump. (2) Open the suction and discharge valves and
start the vacuum pump. When the suction gauge
reads -88 kPa (-26 in. Hg) vacuum or greater, close
all valves and turn off vacuum pump. If the system
fails to reach specified vacuum, the refrigerant sys-
tem likely has a leak that must be corrected. If the
refrigerant system maintains specified vacuum for at
least 30 minutes, start the vacuum pump. Then open
the suction and discharge valves, and allow the sys-
tem to evacuate an additional 10 minutes. (3) Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the
vacuum pump. The refrigerant system is prepared to be charged
with refrigerant.

WARNING: REVIEW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
WARNINGS BEFORE CHARGING THE REFRIGER-
ANT SYSTEM.
After the system has been tested for leaks and
evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into
the system. (1) Connect manifold gauge set.
(2) Measure refrigerant (refer to capacities) and
heat to 52ÉC (125ÉF) with the charging station. Refer
to the instructions provided with the equipment be-
ing used.
REFRIGERANT CAPACITIES:
² Without Rear A/C = 907 g (32 oz.)
² With Rear A/C = 1219 g (43 oz.)
(3) Open the suction and discharge valves. Open
the charge valve to allow the heated refrigerant to
flow into the system. When the transfer of refriger-
ant has stopped, close the suction and discharge
valve. (4) If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer
from the dispensing device, start engine and hold at
idle (1400 rpm). Set the A/C control to A/C, low
blower speed, and open windows. If the A/C compres-
sor does not engage, test the compressor clutch con-
trol circuit and correct any failure. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams. (5) Open the suction valve to allow the remaining
refrigerant to transfer to the system.
WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO OPEN THE DIS-
CHARGE (HIGH-PRESSURE) VALVE AT THIS TIME.
(6) Close all valves and test the A/C system perfor-
mance. Refer to Heater and A/C Performance Tests
in this Group. (7) Disconnect the charging station or manifold
gauge set. Install the service port caps.
OIL LEVEL
It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the
compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the
compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling ca-
pacity of the system. The oil used in the compressor is a 500 SUS viscos-
ity, wax-free refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of
the same type should be used to service the system.
Do not use any other oil. The oil container should be
kept tightly capped until it is ready for use, and then
tightly capped after use to prevent contamination
from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly
absorb any moisture it comes in contact with. It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil
loss. This may be due to a ruptured line, shaft seal leakage, leakage from the evaporator, condenser
leak, filter drier or loss of refrigerant due to a colli-
sion. Oil loss at a the leak point will be evident by
the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECK
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory,
all components (except the compressor) are refriger-
ant oil free. After the system has been charged with
R-12 and operated, the oil in the compressor is dis-
persed through the lines and components. The evap-
orator, condenser, and filter-drier will retain a
significant amount of oil. (Refer to the Refrigerant
Oil Capacities chart). When a component is replaced,
the specified amount of refrigerant oil must be
added. When the compressor is replaced, the amount
of oil that is retained in the rest of the system must
be drained from the replacement compressor. When a
refrigerant line or component has ruptured and it
has released an unknown amount of oil. The A/C
compressor should be removed and drained through
the suction port. The filter-drier must be replaced
along with the ruptured part. Then the oil capacity
of the system (minus the amount of oil still in the re-
maining components) can be poured into the suction
port of the compressor. Example: The evaporator retains 60 ml (2 oz). The
condenser retains 30 ml (1 oz) of oil, and system ca-
pacity may be 214 ml (7.25 oz) of oil. 214 ml minus 90 ml = 124 ml (4.25 oz).
VERIFY REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
(1) Using a refrigerant recovery machine, remove
refrigerant from the A/C system. (2) Remove refrigerant lines from A/C compressor.
(3) Remove compressor from vehicle.
(4) From suction port on top of compressor, drain
refrigerant oil from compressor. (5) Add system oil capacity minus the capacity of
components that have not been replaced. Refer to the
Refrigerant Oil Capacity chart. Add oil through suc-
tion port on compressor. (6) Install compressor, connect refrigerant lines,
evacuate, and charge refrigerant system.

REMOVAL
Compressor assembly must be removed from mount-
ing. Although, refrigerant removal is not necessary.
(1) Remove the compressor shaft bolt (Fig. 1). A
band type oil filter removal tool can be placed around
the clutch plate to aid in bolt removal.
(2) Tap the clutch plate with a plastic hammer and
remove clutch plate and shim (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: Do not use screwdrivers between the
clutch plate assembly and pulley to remove front
plate as this may damage the front plate assembly.
(3) Remove pulley retaining snap ring with Snap
Ring Pliers (C-4574), and slide pulley assembly off of
compressor (Fig. 3). (4) Remove coil wire clip screw and wire harness. (5) Remove snap ring retaining field coil onto com-
pressor housing (Fig. 4). Slide field coil off of com-
pressor housing.
(6) Examine frictional faces of the clutch pulley
and front plate for wear. The pulley and front plate
should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scor-
ing. If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft
nose area of the compressor for oil and remove the
felt from the front cover. If the compressor felt is sat-
urated with oil, the shaft seal is leaking and will
have to be replaced.
