What are the main differences between the gearbox AWD/FWD 41TE/41AE

    Hi everyone,

    I may have to repair an AWD gearbox from a Chrysler voyager AS. I was wondering, as the title say, what are the main difference between one with the driveshaft and one without. If you have any info, feel free to share !

    Have a nice day !

    Hey there,

    here is a thread where I changed a transmission from FWD to AWD:

    Umbau 41TE auf 41AE / A604 Frontantrieb auf Allrad

    Hallo zusammen,

    hier ein paar Fotos wie der Umbau von einem FWD Getriebe auf ein AWD Getriebe aussieht.

    Das hier ist aber keine vollständige Anleitung, deswegen gehe ich auf Sachen wie Differenzial-Einmessen und Drehmomente nicht ein. Die sind jedoch im Service-Manual in Kapitel 21 zu finden.

    Das Allrad- Getriebe nennt sich ab 1992 41AE (All-Wheel-Drive Electronic), das Getriebe für Frontantrieb nennt sich 41TE (Transverse Electronic).

    Vor 1992 nennen sich die Getriebe A604, ohne zwischen…

    So basically it’s „just“ the differential and the attached. Power-Transfer-Unit.

    However, Transmission differ from year to year. Some people might say a AWD transmission has a different planetary drive than a FWD. Also the size of diffs differ, depending from application and Model Year.

    Maybe the Transmission P/N Sheet gives some more insights:

    Hello !

    Again, a big thanks for all this data and the pictures. It's very interesting.

    By the way, do you have any clue about an AWD gearbox without the reverse mode ? You really seem to know a lot about the Chrysler Voyager. I know it's pretty difficult to be a remote mechanic, but it could always be helpful to have an other point of view. (For information, the gearbox had a bad oil level and since then, the car still works forward. Backward, well, I'm here and I'm a bit afraid about the fact that I may have to open the gearbox).

    Have a nice day !

    Hey,

    happy to help if I can :)

    I don't really know too much about the gearboxes issue-wise. I can take them apart, portably be able to put it back together.
    However I have had so little issues with the A604 / 41TE that I don't really know how to diagnose it down to a component level (remote).

    In the Workshop Manual there should be a flow chart regarding common issues. Have you checked that?

    Zitat von morgan

    I'm not sure to understand, do you implies that you have one gearbox to sell ?
    If yes, how much for the gearbox and for the shipping to Belgium ?

    Hi morgan

    Sorry to keep you waiting!
    Yes, I no longer need the AWD transmission and can sell it (with the torque converter). The car was too rusted, but the transmission kept running until the very end. It was overhauled about 70,000 km ago by a Voyager mechanic in the Sauerland region.
    I’d like €600 for it, and I’d definitely deliver it to Aachen for free; delivery could take place between April 7 and 10. I’ll be swapping parts with Wolfram in Magdeburg then, but I haven’t asked him yet.

    Cheers,
    the Blechfreak
