A500 uses a output shaft mounted governor to control the 1-2 and 2-3 up and downshifts. The 42RE-44RE are RWD 4-speed units with TCC. Pressure rise is controlled by mechanical TV on all models.

Trans Basic Operation:
The A500 (also called 42RH) is a RWD 4speed unit with TCC. Pressure rise is controlled by mechanical TV on all models. The A500 uses a output shaft mounted governor to control the 1-2 and 2-3 up and downshifts. TCC and 4th are controlled by independently by valve body mounted solenoids. The 42RE-44RE are RWD 4-speed units with TCC. Pressure rise is still controlled by mechanical TV on all models. The mechanical governor was replaced by a governor solenoid mounted on the valve body for road speed signal for up and downshifts. TCC and 4th gear are still controlled electrically by use of valve body mounted solenoid. Dodge applications 1996up are RE series, while Jeep applications used both RE and RH models starting in 1993. By 1996, all Jeep models also used only the RE series.

Temp Sensor
The TCC, OD, and Governor solenoids are all fed
from common 12v supply, and each are ground controlled independently by the vehicle computer. The temp sensor and Governor Pressure Sensor (Transducer) share common 5v supply. The Governor Pressure Sensor is a feedback device used by the computer to monitor the actual value of governor pressure present in the valve body. The computer can then adjust the electrical commands to the Governor Solenoid to achieve desired governor pressure. Note: 1st design models use a separate temperature sensor mounted to the TCC and OD solenoid bracket. On the 2nd design the temperature sensor is combined inside the transducer. Starting in 2000 the range of the temperature sensor was increased for improved accuracy. The 1st and 2nd designs are not interchangeable.
