41TE AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE
DESCRIPTION
The 41TE (Fig. 1) is a four-speed transaxle that is
a conventional hydraulic/mechanical assembly with
an integral differential, and is controlled with adap-
tive electronic controls and monitors. The hydraulic
system of the transaxle consists of the transaxle
fluid, fluid passages, hydraulic valves, and various
line pressure control components. An input clutch
assembly which houses the underdrive, overdrive,
and reverse clutches is used. It also utilizes separate
holding clutches: 2nd/4th gear and Low/Reverse. The
primary mechanical components of the transaxle con-
sist of the following:
²Three multiple disc input clutches
²Two multiple disc holding clutches
²Four hydraulic accumulators
²Two planetary gear sets
²Hydraulic oil pump
²Valve body
²Solenoid/Pressure switch assembly
²Integral differential assemblyControl of the transaxle is accomplished by fully
adaptive electronics. Optimum shift scheduling is
accomplished through continuous real-time sensor
feedback information provided to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Mod-
ule (TCM).
The PCM/TCM is the heart of the electronic control
system and relies on information from various direct
and indirect inputs (sensors, switches, etc.) to deter-
mine driver demand and vehicle operating condi-
tions. With this information, the PCM/TCM can
calculate and perform timely and quality shifts
through various output or control devices (solenoid
pack, transmission control relay, etc.).
The PCM/TCM also performs certain self-diagnos-
tic functions and provides comprehensive information
(sensor data, DTC's, etc.) which is helpful in proper
diagnosis and repair. This information can be viewed
with the DRB scan tool.

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
The 41TE transaxle is identified by a barcode label
that is fixed to the transaxle case as shown in (Fig.
2).The label contains a series of digits that can be
translated into useful information such as transaxle
part number, date of manufacture, manufacturing
origin, plant shift number, build sequence number,
etc. Refer to (Fig. 3) for identification label break-
down.

(Fig. 138).
NOTE: The number seven needle bearing has three
anti-reversal tabs and is common with the number
five and number two position. The orientation
should allow the bearing to seat flat against the
rear sun gear (Fig. 137). A small amount of petrola-
tum can be used to hold the bearing to the rear sun
gear.

and #6 needle bearing (Fig. 139).
(51) Install front sun gear assembly and #4 thrust
washer (Fig. 140).(52)DETERMINING #4 THRUST PLATE
THICKNESS / INPUT SHAFT END PLAY:
(a) Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness
and install to input clutch assembly (Fig. 141). Use
petrolatum to retain.
(b) Install input clutch assembly into position
and verify that it is completely seated by viewing
through input speed sensor hole. If view through
input speed sensor hole is not as shown in (Fig.
142), the input clutch assembly is not seated prop-
erly.
(c) Remove oil pump o-ring (Fig. 143).Be sure
to reinstall oil pump o-ring after selecting the
proper #4 thrust plate.

(e) Set up input shaft for measurement with
Indicator Set C3339 and End Play Set 8266 as
shown in (Fig. 144).
(f) Measure the input shaft end play with the
transaxle in the vertical position.Input shaft end
play must be within 0.005 to 0.025 inch.For
example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select
No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick.
This should provide an input shaft end play read-
ing of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.
