blackvelvet Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Just noticed a slight vibration from the front end and low moise when I select reverse gear. Transmission works exactly as it should.

0 SpAwNtoHell Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Transmision oil level is ok? Fluid and filter due service change in date? Battery disconnected recently? This are the most common causes for what you describe for 40/41TE transmission. Any DTC stored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blackvelvet Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hi Matethanks for the reply.I have booked the car in for a transmission oil and filter change.My garage suggested exactly what you say.I have recently had a new battery fitted......sometime in March.I dont have a check engine light, but that will be checked when it goes in for the fluid change.What causes the noise to start when the battery has been disconnected?It's not a loud noise but it is noticable. gears all function correctly.

0 Alex Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 +1 what Spawntohell said. You must must......must make sure garage uses atf+4, no as good as or it works for every other transmission just atf+4. Quite expensive at £50 plus for 5l. They'll destroy box if use any other.Battery can cause all manor of faults. Amazing what new battery does for these chrysler. Check all terminals are tight. Next most common fault on these is faulty ground, corrosion causing bad ground. Even if looks good remove clean area and refit. You'll be amazed at faults slightly bad ground/earth causes.

0 blackvelvet Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi AlexI had all the battery problems during the cold spell a few weeks ago. I bought a good battery, ie. recommended for the car.I will make sure the fluid is as you say. ATF + 4. I looked it up on Google.ANTI shudder was mentioned. very slight shudder is what I am experiencing in reverse.I wonder if it has the wrong fluid added in the past?

0 SpAwNtoHell Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 +1 on ATF+4 and cannot stress this enough... Disconnecting the battery on this voyagers clears event data and also dtc codes, and also puts the gearbox pcm/tcm (computer) into learning mode/adaptation mode, during the adaptation mode manifests in some hard/shudder in gear changes till this is finished... and this is according to chrysler workshop manual for 41te/42te/61te/62te gearboxes. As for ATF+4 i would only use the mopar one as is the genuine and is not more expensive then other atf+4 like valvoline and others... If gearbox is filled with dextron... is very bad for this transmissions... Garages ussually not stock atf+4 unless they work on this gearboxes often...

0 bignev Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, just sticking my oar in too. Yep, Mopar ATF+4 absolutely definitely. I got 5 litres and a filter for about £50 last year, gone up this year, £58 from Latvia!!! Edited May 3, 2018 by bignev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
