Transaxle Identification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, and 2004 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 42LE transaxle identification code is a series of digits printed on a bar-code label that is fixed to the transaxle case as shown in (Fig 1 ).
For example, the identification code K 821 1125 1316 can be broken down as follows:
- K = Kokomo Transmission Plant
- 821 = Last three digits of the transaxle part number
- 1125 = Build date
- 1316 = Build sequence number
Depending on date of manufacture, some transaxles will utilize a new identification label located in the same location as shown in (Fig 1 ). This label can be broken down as follows (Figure ):
If the tag is not legible or missing, the "PK" number, which is stamped into the transaxle case, can be referred to for identification. This number differs slightly in that it contains the entire transaxle part number, rather than the last three digits.
