INTRODUCTION
CHRYSLER A-606 (42LE)
The 42LE four speed transaxle has many similarities to the A-604. Both units are fully electronic controlled.
The 42LE is mounted in the vehicle in the same fashion as rear drive transmissions. That is Longitudinally,
whereas the A-604 is transverse mounted. Since the front axle of the vehicle passes through the bell housing, the
pump support (stator) shaft and the turbine shaft are longer than the A604. This unit is unique in that it has two
sumps, one for the transmission fluid and one for the differential fluid. The PRNDL and Neutral Safety
Switches are mounted on the valve body inside the transaxle case. There is a chain drive from the output shaft to
the pinion shaft in a similar manner that we have seen on other transaxles. We wish to thank Chrysler
Corporation for the information and illustrations that have made this booklet possible.
