When rebuilding an AW372-family automatic transmission, the friction module is a wear item that directly affects shift feel and holding capacity - getting the right one for the specific application matters more than most technicians expect. This listing is for a single friction module covering the A40, A42DL, and A43DE units built on the AW372 platform, RWD configuration with lockup, for applications from 1983 forward.
This is not a kit. There are no seals, gaskets, steels, Automatic Transmission Filter, or additional hardware included. If your rebuild requires those components, they need to be sourced separately. Ordering this without first confirming your full parts list can leave the job short.
Fitment is specific: AW372-based units in a rear-wheel-drive layout with lockup converter. The AW372 family includes the A40, A42DL, and A43DE designations. FWD variants of related transmissions use different friction modules and are not covered here. Confirm the transmission code stamped on the unit before placing the order - the vehicle year alone is not enough to verify fitment.
The part ships at 3 lb. REMCO has worked in automatic transmission parts since 1991, and every order is checked against the item listing before it goes out. The box includes a parts list so the receiving technician can verify what arrived matches what was ordered. One piece, correct application, ready to install.
- Restoring slip or shudder on an AW372-family unit starts with the right friction module - using a mismatched part risks repeated failure and comebacks.
- This listing covers the friction module only. It does not include steels, seals, gaskets, Automatic Transmission Filter, or any other component. Review your full parts list before ordering.
- Designed specifically for RWD applications with lockup on AW372-based units including A40, A42DL, and A43DE - fitment is not interchangeable with FWD variants of this transmission family.
- One friction module, shipping weight 3 lb. No kit contents, no additional pieces - this is a single component order.
- Before ordering, confirm the exact transmission code on the unit, the model year, and whether the application is RWD with lockup. Do not rely on vehicle year alone.
