Or just get the Mopar steel reinforced reusable one that came out sometime in the last 5-6 years. I put one on my 95 and it was easy (no mess) to install and works great.

Well,

One would be that if you have less overlap on a torqueflite rwd...it is quicker in the 1/4. I used aftermarket kits forsome time and the second gear shift was rough but barked the tires.  After modifying the governor weights so it would shift higher on it's own it shifted smoother and was a touch quicker.

The reason was the LR band was on when I would manually select first. This made  the second gear shift cumbersome.

I realize the trans we are discussing is yestertech compared to 41te but the point is ...if the overlap is quick and short...the shift may not shock the driveline.

THe big sister to this trans is the 62te in an o7 pacifica or 08 sebring ,or avenger. You owe it to yourself to drive one and manually shift it out. Very smooth and very fast. Factory software is not that bad.

There is no difference in the TCM for a 41ae vehicle. It was a vacuum over mechanical system that worked off back up lights at first then went full mechanical with bidirectional roller clutch in back end.

I would try to use the rear axle and half shafts from the donor vehicle.

Your idea is not out of the quesion. Years ago Chrysler built an AWD Daytona prototype that never made production. It made use of the driveline from an AWD Minivan.

The extension housing and differential carrier from a 41ae is the main difference between your 41te/A604. If you use your trans and rebuild it with the diff. and extension housing from the 41ae you can bolt on the power transfer unit from an AWD Pacifica or AWD minivan. Then the fun of clearancing the crossmember to make room for the ptu starts. The late model system...say 2000 and up had a bidirectional roller clutch in the diff so you didn't even need the reverse dog clutchand relay setup to get reverse awd. It is all mechanical...perfect for swapping.

Barack being muslim is his religion not his citizenship....however with respect to his being a true american...He refuses to say the pledge of allegiance or honor our flag. This is due to radical muslim views...

One cannot dis the flag and refuse to say the pledge of allegiance and be considered a true american in any stretch of anyones imagination.

I really must agree with Shiano on the economy issue...and the media is always trying to manipulate the populace.

Best current example I read in the local news was that Chuck Norris is now described as an "aging martial artist" .

He was Walker Texas Ranger before he came out for Huckabee!

As a black belt in two different disciplines and practicing martial artist for 27 years...I am proud to join the aging martial artist ranks!

Chuck Norris for President.
Yippekiaay! Bruce Willis for secretary of defense!

I have 4 kids. Three male one female.

My senior year we had only typewriters, and word processors were new. NO pcs'. A PC the same capability  as the  typical 400 dollar one today would have JUST fit inside the average GAMESTOP store, been powered by 480 volts, and been water cooled!

The recently graduated senior class has had computers in the class room since kindergarten. They are afraid of nothing electrical like most of my generation...tackle and accomplish anything the teachers throw at them and average 10 points higher on the ACT than I did.

My observation has been that the teachers are challenged by this and respond and grow also. The students learn in spite of the mediocrity displayed by a minority of the mentors that get all the attention.

In short...things are getting better!

Hey 98,

Chrysler added a cold weather precaution to keep from jacking up the output shaft and bearing in case the lube  was too cold and oem trans cooler pressure restricted flow. In the case where the temp made the fluid move slower the pressure drop across the filter would reach 32 psi and a spring loaded valve between the outlet to the cooler and the inlet from the cooler would open and trans fluid would be diverted into the lube circuit without leaving the trans.  Trans would have enough heat rejection from the cold temp the cooler was not needed.
