A500 [88-UP] Automatic Transmission Friction Clutch Pack Clutch Module

This clutch pack module is a direct-fit friction component for the A500, 42RE, 40RH, and 42RH automatic transmission, covering units built from 1988 through 2016. It is a single piece, not a kit, so the part count is exactly one module at a shipped weight of two pounds.

For a technician rebuilding or servicing one of these units, the friction module addresses clutch pack wear and slip conditions within the automatic transmission. When the friction material is worn past its service limit, clutch engagement becomes erratic or soft, and replacing the module restores the mechanical contact the clutch pack needs to hold under load.

Before placing the order, confirm two things on the bench: first, that the transmission code on the case or identification tag reads A500, 42RE, 40RH, or 42RH exactly, because these designations cover distinct variants that share the platform but are not always interchangeable part for part; second, that the build year of the unit falls inside the 1988 through 2016 window. If the code on your unit differs from any of those four, this module is not the right selection.

This listing covers the friction module alone. It does not include friction steels, apply plates, an Automatic Transmission Filter, a band, seals, or any other component. If your job requires additional parts, those need to be sourced separately. Reviewing the full bill of materials for the rebuild before ordering avoids the most common reason for returns on single-component listings like this one.

The module ships from REMCO, which has worked exclusively in automatic transmission parts distribution since 1991. Each order is pulled and verified individually before it leaves the facility.

• Fits the A500, 42RE, 40RH, and 42RH automatic transmission family for clutch pack service spanning model years 1988 through 2016.
• This listing is for a single friction module only. It does not include steels, Automatic Transmission Filter, bands, bushings, or seals. Verify your full parts list before ordering.
• One friction module, assembled and checked against its part record before shipment, sourced from a distributor specializing in automatic transmissions since 1991.
• Contents: one clutch pack friction module. Shipped weight: 2 lb. No additional pieces are included beyond what is described here.
• Before ordering, confirm the exact transmission code stamped on your unit matches A500, 42RE, 40RH, or 42RH, and verify the build year falls within the 1988 to 2016 range.
