Town & Country Van 2WD V6-230 3.8L VIN L SMFI (1997)
The above information will help technicians and parts personnel select the proper parts when working with these different combinations.
NOTE:
THE EASIEST WAY TO DETERMINE WHICH COMPONENTS ARE REQUIRED IS BY LOOKING AT THE TERMINAL STYLE OF THE
TRS FOR THE TRANSAXLE YOU ARE WORKING ON.
CAUTION:
1998 AND 1999 TRS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR SIZE (THROUGH CASE DIAMETER).
The following guidelines will help determine which components are required when making related repairs:
1999 Vehicle Needs A TRS Or Valve Body Assembly
^
Inspect the TRS for terminal type.
^
If the TRS has PIN terminals, order a 1998 TRS or Valve Body assembly for service.
^
If the TRS has BLADE terminals, order a 1999 TRS or Valve Body assembly for service.
1999 Vehicle Needs A Transaxle
^
Regardless of original transaxle type (1998 or 1999) a 1999 transaxle should be ordered for a 1999 vehicle.
NOTE:
IF THE 1999 VEHICLE HAD A CARRYOVER 1998 TRANSAXLE, THE HARNESS JUMPER MUST BE REMOVED SO THE VEHICLE
HARNESS WILL CONNECT WITH THE 1999 TRANSAXLE TRS. JA MODELS DID NOT USE A HARNESS JUMPER AND A 1999 SPLICE
KIT WOULD BE REQUIRED.
1998 Or Earlier Vehicle Needs A TRS Or Valve Body Assembly
^
Order 1998 components for the transaxle.
1998 Or Earlier Vehicle Needs A Transaxle
^
If the applicable model year transaxle is ordered and received, no further action is required.
^
If a 1999 model transaxle is received for a 1998 or earlier vehicle, a TRS harness splice kit p/n 5014473AA 41TE or 5014474AA 42LE must be
ordered to modify the vehicle harness.
