The Ultradrive is an automatic transmission manufactured by Chrysler beginning in the 1989 model year.

Initially produced in a single 4-speed variant paired with the Mitsubishi 3.0 (6G72) engine in vehicles with transverse engines, application was expanded to the Chrysler 3.3 & 3.8 V6 engines in 1990 model year Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager/Grand Voyager, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Dynasty & Chrysler New Yorker. A 6-speed variant (62TE) was introduced in the 2007 model year and remains in production for several models as of 2019.^[1]

The Ultradrive and succeeding transmissions are produced at the Kokomo Transmission plant in Kokomo, Indiana, which also manufactures other Chrysler automatic transmissions. Today, Dodge Journeys equipped with 4-cylinder engines are the only applications of the 4-speed Ultradrive (40TES) remaining in production.

History[edit]

The Ultradrive was a significant technological advancement in transmission operation, one of the first electronically controlled automatics. It pioneered many now-common features such as adaptive shifting, wherein the Electronic control unit optimizes shifting based on the driving style of the operator. It earned a reputation for being unreliable. While the Ultradrive transmission had numerous issues, reportedly due to being rushed into production, a common problem was not necessarily caused by a design flaw, but by poor labelling: both owner's manuals and transmission fluid dipsticks advocated the use of Dexron transmission fluid in the event the required fluid was not available.^[2] The transmissions were designed to use a special fluid (Type 7176, also known as ATF+3, now superseded by ATF+4) and many owners reported failures from the use of Dexron, as well as temporary issues which were resolved when the proper fluid was added.^[3]

There may also have been mistaken impressions of failure due to the 'limp home' feature. When the computer sensed a problem, such as a sensor giving an inappropriate reading, a code would be stored in the car's computer and the transmission would default to second gear only, under transmission computer control, so that owners could still drive to a service location for diagnosis and/or repairs. This may have caused perceptions of failure and premature replacement.^[4] A major drawback to the 'second gear only limp mode' was, if second gear was the defective gear, the vehicle would not go forward.

The torque converter measured 9.5 in (24 cm) in diameter and was mounted to the flywheel by a flexible drive plate. The transaxle was cooled through an oil-to-water heat exchanger in the collector tank on the radiator, and/or a standard oil-to-air heat exchanger. There were no bands or mechanical holding devices; ratios were supplied by five different clutch packs. This allowed the transmission to be lightweight and to use fewer moving parts than the three speed it replaced.^[5]

The 41TE transmission which directly replaced the TorqueFlite had a similar design and could be considered an evolutionary change, but it included different valve bodies, solenoid packs, sensors, and other components to increase reliability. This line was also given a flash-programmable TCM and, in 2006, a variable line pressure hydraulic system was phased in, which boosted performance and longevity.^[6]

'Autostick' option[edit]

In some applications, the driver could select a certain gear with an extra position on the stick. Marketed as 'Autostick,' activation required the driver to press a safety button on the selector stick, whereby and the selector could be moved to the 'manual' position — where side-to-side movements towards the + and - icons (or pressing the + and - buttons on column-mounted selectors) made it possible to manually engage the transmission sequentially through all 4 forward speeds. The computer could override the gear selector to limit maximum engine RPM or prevent selection of a gear too low for vehicle speed. The option was advantageous in certain driving conditions, e.g., slippery roads or mountain driving.

Technical information[edit]

There are currently 4 different types of units. Chrysler switched to a new coded naming convention in the 1990s. This new standard starts with two numbers, the number of gears (4-6) and the torque rating (0-9) plus two or three letters describing the unit.^[7]

TE:Transverse Electronic
LE:Longitudinal Electronic
TEA:Transverse Electronic All-Wheel-Drive

Differences in bell housing and bolt pattern can be seen between years and platforms (e.g. 2013 Grand Caravan RT platform 62TE is not bolt compatible with a 2013 ProMaster VF platform 62TE).^[8]

A606/42LE[edit]

The 42LE was an upgraded version of the 41TE modified for longitudinal engines. 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 N-S 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 from the output shaft of the low/reverse clutch assembly at the rear of the transmission case.

Applications:

• 42LE
  • 1999-2004 Chrysler 300M
  • 1993-2004 Chrysler Concorde

42RLE[edit]

The 42LE was modified in 2003 as the 42RLE, originally for the then-new Jeep Liberty. It is a 42LE transaxle, modified for use in rear-wheel drive vehicles by removing the integral differential and transfer chain. Power flow exits the rear of the transmission. The case has also been modified. By design, it has full-electronic shift control with adaptive memory to learn the operator's driving habits controlled by the vehicle's Transmission Control Module (TCM). Contained within the automatic's torque converter is an Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC), designed act as a shock absorber for harsh shifting. 42RLE production ceased in early 2012.^[9]

Gear Ratios for the 42RLE:

• 1st: 2.80
• 2nd: 1.55
• 3rd: 1.00
• 4th: 0.69

Applications:

• 42RLE
  • 2005–2010 Chrysler 300
  • 2006–2010 Dodge Charger
  • 2004–2011 Dodge Dakota
  • 2004-2009 Dodge Durango
  • 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum

  • 2003–2012 Jeep Liberty
  • 2003–2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • 2009 Dodge Challenger V6
  • 2003-2012 Dodge Ram

40TES/41TES[edit]

The 40TES and 41TES are upgraded replacement versions of the 41TE, which were first introduced with the 2007 Chrysler Sebring. The 40TES is used with the 2.4 L GEMAI4 engine while the 41TES is used with the 2.7 L EERV6. The difference between the TES and TE is the TES has a shallower bell housing and the torque converter is more compact. This was done for the revised packaging of the 2007 Sebring's engine compartment. The 40TES and 41TES are also known As VLP, (Variable Line Pressure) Transmissions: a pressure sensor and line pressure solenoid were added to the valve body, in addition to the solenoid pack that bolts to the outside of the case. This resulted in an additional harness connector coming through the case near the manual linkage.

Applications:

• 2007–2010 Chrysler Sebring
• 2011–2014 Chrysler 200
• 2008–2014 Dodge Avenger
• 2009–present Dodge Journey

62TE[edit]

The 62TE is a six-speed derivative of the 41TE, first introduced on 2007 Chrysler Sebring models fitted with the 3.5L EGJV6. Applications also include the Pacifica crossover (4.0L), the RT Platform minivans (3.8L & 4.0L V6; also 2.8L diesel for Europe) and the Dodge Journey (3.5L & 3.6L).

Problems[edit]

Many problems with Chrysler automatic transmissions are started when the automatic transmission fluid or 'ATF' is replaced or topped-up with standard, more common fluids like DEXRON or MERCON type fluids. Chrysler transmissions need to use their own fluid, designated as ATF+4 Synthetic type 9602 fluid from Chrysler, not any other or any other plus an additive. If any quantity of other type of fluid is added to the transmission, a complete drain, flush and replacement with the correct ATF+4 will be needed. When properly serviced (periodic fluid and filter changes with the required ATF+4 fluid), the transmission performs correctly.

The most common problems (shift stuck-, limp mode-, blocking problems) with the Chrysler Ultradrive transmissions are poor shifting quality and sudden locks into second gear ('limp-home' mode) caused by the transmission computer detecting problems with sensor data. Nine design changes were made in an attempt to fix clutch failure, and four were directed to excessive shifting on hills.^[10]

After pressure from the US Center for Auto Safety,^[11] Consumer Reports, and others, Chrysler LLC promised^{[citation needed]} to waive the $100 deductible in the warranty, provide loaners, and buy back any cars with Ultradrives that could not be fixed (US located cars only). Chrysler ran an unprecedented campaign to contact all American owners of cars with Ultradrives to find and fix problems.^[12]
