The Chrysler Transmissions called the 42LE was an upgraded version of the 604/41TE modified for longitudinal engines (front to back, not sideways or transverse). It debuted in 1993 on the LH cars. It is strengthened with a reworked final drive unit, barreled axle shafts, and upgraded clutch packs. The major modification to a North-South (longitudinal) drivetrain while maintaining front wheel drive was accomplished by adding a differential to the transmission case, which was driven by means of a transfer chain.
A few of it’s many applications are:
- 1999-2004 Chrysler 300M
- 1993-2004 Chrysler Concorde
- 1994-2001 Chrysler LHS
- 2001-2002 Chrysler Prowler (Rear Mounted)
- 1994-1996 Chrysler New Yorker
- 1993-2004 Dodge Intrepid
Proven to be a solid transmission when using the correct transmission fluid, which can only be purchased at the dealer, and changing the AT Fluid at factory intervals or less. One of the few improvents to ths unit is to install a shift upgrade kit. A shift upgrade kit eliminates shift problems and early failures. The nice thing about the shift upgrade kits is that they can be installed in good working used transmissions as well as when a tramnsmission is rebuilt.
One of the reasons we can perform at such a high level is that we put our money in the small stuff like shift upgrade kits in our transmissions. We build confidence by providing superior replacement transmissions, not a bunch of advertising. Our used transmissions almost all have less than 50,000 miles on them.
