A500

Since 1988, the automatic transmission A500 had been installed on different models of Dodge pickups. After its modification in 1994 and renaming as 42RE (as electrically controlled transmission), it became used on famous Jeeps with the engine capacity equal to 4 liters and higher.

The 4-speed enhanced modification of 44RE named as A500 was developed for engines with a high torque (5-liter petrol-powered and 3-liter diesel engines). In terms design, this transmission is related to the TF6 (A904), and was installed on RWD vehicles and Mitsubishi pickups.
