What kind of transmission does a Chrysler 42RE have?

Updated January, 2003 1 The Chrysler 42RE (A500SE) is a 4 speed automatic transmission. Mechanical and hydraulic components in the 42RE are similar to those found in the 42RH (A500) transmissions. The major difference between them involves the method they use to produce governor pressure for shift control.

What kind of clutch does a 42RE have?

The 42RE (A500SE) uses electronic components to create governor pressure and the 42RH (A500) uses a mechanical governor to create governor pressure. First through third gear in the 42RE (A500SE) are provided by the clutches, bands, low roller clutch and planetary gear sets located in the transmission main case.
